MOON 100 D Digital-to-Analog Converter Introduction Your MOON 100 D DAC incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of performance.
MOON 100 D Digital-to-Analog Converter Front Panel Controls Figure 1: MOON 100 D Front panel The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The “Standby” button is located in the lower left corner and toggles the MOON 100 D between standby mode and operational mode. When in “Standby” mode, the 100 D’s output signal is muted, however, all digital and analog audio circuitry remains powered up to help maintain optimal performance.
MOON 100 D Digital-to-Analog Converter Rear Panel Connections Figure 2: MOON 100 D Rear panel The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). On the left side is a pair of single-ended RCA analog audio output connectors. You should connect these to a single-ended stereo analog input on your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. Don’t hesitate to use good quality interconnect cables.
MOON 100 D Digital-to-Analog Converter Operating the MOON 100 D We recommend that you leave your 100 D DAC powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the Digital-to-Analog Converter may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your 100 D will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
