Moon 390 Network Streamer


Still evaluating numerous DAC/Streamers and had the opportunity to listen to Moon 390 Network Streamer. Any thoughts on Moon products in general and the 390?

Recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

@overthemoon -

How would you compare the 860 V2 to the M400 or 330A.  I have the 330A and the 390.  Space limits to one box and interested in improvement higher level Sim amps would bring.  Thanks!

The 860A V2 is a significant leap.

More dynamics and finesse simultaneously.  The increased ability to control of the speakers is noticeable.  The biggest surprise for me was the 860A v2 never gets hot, it keeps control of the speakers.  I've never got the amp warm even playing for hours on end listening 80-85 dbs.

I still think the 390/M400 is an excellent value.  The 860A (and the new North series) is a significant step up.

@overthemoon - Thanks for your comments.  Will keep an eye out for a used 860.

I previewed the Moon 330A and 761 yesterday at a local retailer. Components were similar to mine (Moon 390, Sonus Faber Sonetta V G2 (I have the SF Sonetta V) and they used better speaker cables and interconnects). The retailer started with the 330A and went to the 761. Then started with the 761 and went to the 330A. What a significant difference between the two units. Wish I never heard the 761.My question will I be happy with the 330A now that I heard the 761? Significant difference in price.330A ($4,400) 761 ($14,000). So, for you folks that have the 330A are you happy or do you plan to move up to the 761. 761 has more control, better base and authority. It should since it’s in a different league. Willing to wait if I decide on the 761 until I can afford. 

Any help making this decision easier would be appreciated.
