491 Network Player / Preamplifier

The MOON 491 combines a network player, preamplifier, DAC, configurable MM/MC phono stage, and headphone amplifier in one Compass Collection component. Its balanced analog preamplifier and dual-mono digital conversion are built to handle both digital and analog sources with low noise and precise control.

MiND 2 supports UPnP playback, Roon Ready operation, AirPlay, Bluetooth, Qobuz Connect, TIDAL Connect, and Spotify Connect. The phono stage allows on-screen adjustment of loading, capacitance, gain, and equalization, while the color display and CRM-4 remote simplify operation.
