MOON ACE – High-end all-in-one music system with streaming, DAC and MM phono stage

The MOON ACE by Simaudio is a high-end integrated music system engineered to deliver a complete audiophile experience within a single elegant component. Designed for modern listeners seeking premium hi-fi performance combined with maximum simplicity, the MOON ACE integrates audiophile-grade analogue amplification, high-resolution DAC technology, MiND network streaming, aptX Bluetooth and an MM phono stage into one refined and compact solution.

At the heart of the system lies a Class A/B stereo amplifier derived directly from MOON’s acclaimed integrated amplifier platforms, delivering 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 85 watts per channel into 4 ohms. Thanks to its oversized linear power supply with custom toroidal transformer and proprietary MOON circuitry, the ACE maintains exceptional control, natural tonal balance and fluid musicality even with demanding loudspeakers.

The integrated DAC section uses a high-performance ESS Sabre platform supporting PCM up to 32-bit / 384 kHz and DSD256 through USB, ensuring highly transparent, detailed and musical digital conversion. The proprietary MiND streaming platform provides access to streaming services, internet radio and network music libraries via Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.

Connectivity is extremely comprehensive and includes analogue RCA inputs, dedicated MM phono input, USB Audio, coaxial and optical digital inputs, aptX Bluetooth, pre-out connection and a front-mounted 6.3 mm headphone output. The MOON ACE can therefore serve as the central hub of a modern high-end audio system without requiring additional electronics.

The high-rigidity anti-resonance chassis and carefully optimised internal layout minimise background noise and ensure outstanding long-term operational stability. The front OLED display and MiND app for iOS and Android also provide a modern and intuitive user experience.

Sonically, the MOON ACE stands out for its refined, coherent and highly engaging presentation. Bass reproduction is deep and controlled, the midrange rich in harmonic texture and naturalness, while treble remains detailed yet smooth and fatigue-free. The soundstage is spacious, stable and holographic, with excellent microdynamic expression and musical involvement.

Entirely designed and manufactured in Canada, the MOON ACE represents one of the most elegant, musical and complete all-in-one solutions available in the premium hi-fi market.
