As the 260DT it is a pure transport with AES\/EBU and S\/PDIF outputs for an external DAC, including MQA-CD pass-through to an MQA-capable converter. As the 260D it adds a true 32-bit asynchronous DAC with upsampling, MOON's oversized power supplies and analog output stage, and three digital inputs (two S\/PDIF, one optical) so it also serves as the system's DAC. The DAC board can be added to a 260DT later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 20px\"\u003eThe 260D suits anyone with a CD collection and a MOON integrated such as the 250i v2 or 341, where SimLink lets the amplifier and transport switch on together.
