Open-Box Unit • Full 10-Year Simaudio Warranty • North Collection

This unit is available for in-store purchase only in accordance with Simaudio’s North Collection policies. We are happy to deliver and install the MOON 791 in your home to ensure optimal setup and performance.

The Simaudio MOON 791 is a centerpiece of the prestigious North Collection, a line developed over years of rigorous engineering, listening sessions, and refinement. It represents Simaudio at its absolute best—a fusion of cutting-edge digital architecture, world-class analog design, and timeless craftsmanship. This open-box unit is in pristine condition and carries the complete 10-year manufacturer warranty, offering exceptional value on one of the finest preamplifiers available today.

A System’s Heart, Perfectly Realized

The MOON 791 is far more than a preamplifier. It is the complete command center for a modern high-performance audio system—combining a reference-grade analog preamp, a sophisticated DAC, and a fully integrated MiND 2 network player. Its mission is simple: total system control without ever altering the integrity of the audio signal.

At the center is the M-VOL3 analog volume control, engineered for perfect channel balance, ultra-low noise, and effortless operation even at low listening levels. Its dual-mono layout and isolated power supply architecture ensure purity, stability, and an expansive, uncolored soundstage.

Many of our clients choose to pair the MOON 791 with the Simaudio 761 Amplifier, either as a single stereo unit or as two 761s for a true mono-block configuration, unlocking the full dynamic and spatial capabilities of the North Collection system.

Digital Precision, Analog Soul

The 791’s MDE2 digital engine handles high-resolution formats with ease—PCM up to 384 kHz and DSD512—while maintaining absolute transparency. Every circuit is physically and electrically isolated to preserve long-term clarity and stability.

Streaming is powered by Simaudio’s MiND 2 platform, offering seamless connectivity with today’s top services:

• Roon Ready

• Apple AirPlay

• Spotify Connect

• Bluetooth aptX

Everyday interaction is elevated with the BRM-1 Intelligent Remote Control, offering intuitive access with no delay or distraction.

Vinyl Ready: Serious Analog Performance

For analog enthusiasts, the MOON 791 includes a robust MM/MC phono stage with selectable gain, impedance, and capacitance—ensuring ideal cartridge matching.

We frequently pair the 791 with the superb Technics SL-1200G or SL-1210G turntables equipped with the Acoustical Systems Archon cartridge from Germany. This entire analog front-end is specially priced at $7,999.00 when purchased with any Simaudio package, offering remarkable performance and value.

For discerning audiophiles seeking a higher plane of analog reproduction, we also offer the Brinkmann Bardo turntable with a 12-inch tonearm, fitted with the Archon cartridge and placed upon an HRS E-Series isolation platform. This reference-level combination is available for $19,995.00.
