MOON SuperNova CD Player
Introduction
Your MOON SuperNova CD Player incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of
performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features:
24-bit/352.8kHz internal upsampling with 8X oversampling.
Ultra-high performance 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1798 DAC/Digital Filter.
Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback.
Digital input for use as a digital-to-analog converter with either a digital music server or external transport.
Separate digital and analog power supplies, each with their own toroidal transformer
Fully balanced differential digital and analog circuitry
in a dual-mono design.
A very accurate 25 PPM digital clocking system.
Power supply voltage regulation includes i
2
DCf (Independent Inductive DC Filtering); 1 inductor for each and every chip
(i.e. OpAmp, DAC, Digital Filter, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path – 20 stages in all.
A very short capacitor-free signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6dB/octave analog filter.
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.
