MOON 300 D v.2 Digital-to-Analog Converter Operating the MOON 300 D We recommend that you leave your MOON 300 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, switching the 300 D into “Standby” mode may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your 300 D will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
