Pulled the trigger on a Moon 861! Hope it pairs well on my Focals


Well, I pulled the trigger and ordered a Moon 861 amp! I am very excited! It will be coming next week. I have a pair of focal Sopra n1 speakers that I'll be using on it. I've never heard them paired before. I heard a moon audio 761 on dynaudio towers and so that's what turned me on to The Moon North collection.

 

I'm feeling a little bit nervous. Hopefully it pairs really good with good synergy with the focals. Has anyone ever heard the moon north gear on Focals before?

G….his DAC has no network card. You can’t control it with the eversolo app. 
If on a budget the new WiiM Ultra is very decent. 
 

Let’s get the OP to respond with his budget on new digital front end. 
Also what is the current network situation? Do you have a network cable nearby that you can connect to the streamer? If not, is your wifi strong enough there? What does the speed test say when you run it near your system?

dman77 - You have the top of the line Simaudio Amyp.  For a simple two box solution, you might consider pairing it with one of their North Pre/DAC/Streamers, either the 791 ($16k) or the 891 ($25k) and sell/trade the other gear.  Their Sim Mind software provides a really easy way to stream from bluethooth to Qobuz (I'm testing Tidal out now).  I have the lower level Sims (330A/390) running to Magico A3s.  The Magicos have Be tweeters and its no problem.  Good luck!

Just wanted to mention that I upgraded to a Eversolo A8... it helped a lot. I'm learning every component matters when doing separates.
