Nēo, pronounced “knee-o”, comes from the ancient Greek word meaning “new” denoting this exciting range of MOON products. Borrowing heavily from the Evolution Series’ aesthetics, Nēo incorporates numerous circuit enhancements to noticeably improve sound quality. Every aspect of the Nēo Series is designed to remind you of the much-more-expensive Evolution Series, but at a fraction of the price.

Nēo = A fusion of lifestyle and technology Nēo takes the place of most models previously available in the MOON range, while setting a new standard for performance, build quality, and appearance for affordable, high-end audio products. Existing model numbers will not change, except that the new ones will be identified with the word “Nēo”. For example, the 250i will be referred to as the Nēo 250i.

The standard finish for Nēo series products is “all black”. However, both an “all silver” finish and a “2-tone” finish (silver cheeks with black faceplate) are available.

[Nēo 380D]
NDesigned around our M-AJiC32 circuitry (an asynchronous jitter elimination system) performing in true 32-bit fully asynchronous mode, the Nēo 380D features the ESS SABRE32 Ultra DAC operating in 32-bit Hyperstream™ where the conversion process uses an astonishing 8 DAC’s per channel. Raising the bar further, there are eight (8) digital inputs covering the full gamut of connections – USB, S/PDIF, AES/EBU, and Optical. All of these inputs accept a signal up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution. Finally, we’ve included a full digital monitor loop (S/PDIF) to accommodate external devices such as a room correction component.

Enhancing this Digital-to-Analog Converter are two (2) separate options; (i) The MOON MiND music streamer module which is actually a 9th digital input, via WiFi or Ethernet connection, and (ii) a high quality remote-controlled volume circuit feeding both balanced (XLR) and single-ended (RCA) analog outputs. The 380D is targeted at individuals with computer-based audio setups, large digital music collections or multiple digital sources. It portrays all of the Simaudio sonic hallmarks: clean, powerful, fast and extended bass combined with an open midrange and airy extended high frequencies.

Of course, key features you’d expect in a MOON Neo Series products are present such as SimLink™, 12V trigger, RS-232 and IR ports for custom-install environments. Finally, the Nēo 380D is available in three different finishes: all black, all silver or two-tone (black & silver).
