MOON 750 D Digital-to-Analog Converter / CD Transport

Introduction

Your MOON 750D DAC / CD Transport incorporates many innovative significant design features to achieve its "world class"
level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
ESS Technology SABRE
unprecedented jitter immunity and low-level linearity via a patented Time Domain Jitter Eliminator.
Digital Audio Signal Processing using M-AJiC32 (MOON Asynchronous Jitter Control in 32-bit mode)
Proprietary CD drive system mounted on our M-Quattro gel-based 4-point floating suspension for vibration damping,
allowing ambient and spatial cues in your recordings to come to life like never before
Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback.
Four (4) digital inputs (AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TosLink and USB) allowing for a connection to virtually any digital source
Two (2) digital outputs – AES/EBU and S/PDIF
Separate digital and analog power supplies, each with their own toroidal transformer
A virtually jitter-free digital clocking system.
Power supply voltage regulation includes i
(i.e. OpAmp, DAC, Digital Filter, etc.) in the audio circuit's signal path – 24 stages in all.
Optional external power supply available in the near future.
Four-layer pure copper circuit PCB tracings; The advantages include better ground and power supply circuit layouts
resulting in a much shorter signal path and dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio.
Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.
Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design.
Designed to be powered up at all times for optimal performance.
Low operating temperature for a longer than normal life expectancy.
Installation & Placement
The MOON 750D Reference DAC / CD Transport is very heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum
and consistent operating temperature. Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper
heat dissipation. As well, it should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a
closed cabinet that is not well ventilated as this could compromise the DAC / CD Transport's performance and reliability.
Once you've decided on a location for the 750D, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on cones into the threaded
holes located on the bottom of the four (4) the corner posts of the DAC / CD Transport chassis.
scratch some surface, therefore it's advisable to follow these instructions:
carefully turn it so that it rests on its side. Screw one cone onto each of the four posts. Carefully move the chassis to it's pre-
determined location.
In the event that the surface you have chosen isn't perfectly level, each of the four (4) cones on your 750D are height
adjustable; carefully using your fingers, you can either raise each leg by turning the cone underneath clockwise, or lower each
leg by turning it counterclockwise.
