Simaudio MOON Evolution SuperNova Owner's Manual

Balanced Operation When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio signal runs through both the center wire and the shield/ground wire. Any noise picked up by this interconnect (ie. nearby magnetic fields such as an AC power cord) will be reproduced by both the preamplifier and amplifier, then heard through the loudspeakers. Conversely, a balanced interconnect has three separate conductors; one for the ground and two for the actual signal. These two signals are identical except that one is 180 degrees out of phase with the other. For example, when one conductor ...

Important Safety Instructions (cont’d) The lightning flash with the arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. Marking by the “CE” symbol (shown ...

Introduction Your MOON SuperNova CD Player incorporates many significant design features to achieve its “world class” level of performance. This is an abbreviated list of the more important features: 24-bit/352.8kHz internal upsampling with 8X oversampling. Ultra-high performance 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1798 DAC/Digital Filter. Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback. Digital input for use as a digital-to-analog converter with either a digital music server or external transport. Separate digital and analog power supplies, each with their own toroidal transforme ...

SimLink™ The SimLink™ provides communication features between various MOON components. For example, if you were to connect the SuperNova CD Player to the i-7 Integrated Amplifier via the SimLink™, pressing the X (play) button on the SuperNova would make the integrated amplifier automatically switch to it’s designated input for the CD Player (Please refer to the i-7 owner’s manual for more information if applicable). If you were to adjust the brightness level of the large digital display window using the “Display” button on the SuperNova, the brightness ...
