The MOON 791 is
much more than a preamp. It combines
a high-end phono stage and streaming
DAC in a state-of-theart analog
preamplifier. Its abundance of
features is surpassed only by its
exceptional build quality and sonic
performance.

In addition to its arsenal of seven
digital inputs (including HDMI ARC),
three analog inputs, and two outputs
(independently configured for
variable or fixed volume), and its
MDE2—a re-clocking FPGA and flagship
DAC supporting resolutions up to
32/384 and DSD256—the 791 can host a
USB drive, and features the Roon
Ready MiND2 network player,
supporting Bluetooth and AirPlay 2.
Even the phono preamp supports
moving-magnet and moving-coil
cartridges, with real-time
configuration via the menu system.
The latest update to the widely
lauded M-VOL3 (3rd generation of the
acclaimed MOON volume control) dials
in improved electronic gain control
with sublime precision, while the
4.3’’ colour display and BRM-1
remote control raise the 791 to a
new level of refinement and
enjoyment. Together with its natural
partner, the 761 power amplifier,
the 791 provides a versatile user
experience with the audio
performance to rival the best
systems in the world.
