A beautiful 4.3’’ full-colour screen displays cover art with song and artist names, while the BRM-1 remote control and MOONLink communication make it a pleasure to operate and integrate within a complete MOON system. MHV (MOON Hybrid Volume) technology employs a clever combination of digital attenuation and analogue gain levels to allow for high-performance volume control when the 681 is not connected to a MOON preamplifier without compromising the audio signal in the digital domain.
At the heart of the 681 is the MDE1, a re-clocking FPGA with an innovative DAC implementation to convert audio with industry-leading accuracy. Equipped with a MiND2 network player, the 681 accesses music from TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer, and HighResAudio, is compatible with, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and TIDAL Connect, is Roon Ready, decodes all two-channel digital music formats—including MQA and DSD—and can synchronise with other MiND2 products to create a whole home experience!
The 641 is a delight to use with the revolutionary BRM-1 intelligent remote-control. While the premium M-VOL3 improves on the celebrated MOON volume control precision, the BRM-1 brings the experience of the luxurious MOON volume knob anywhere in the home with its ground-breaking touch controls, visual feedback, and lavish refinement. Moreover, its new MDCA (MOON Distortion-Cancelling Amplifier) design features an independent circuit with precise signal correction to significantly lower noise and distortion, while the dual-mono configuration fills the room, developing 125 watts into two 8-ohm loads and 250 watts into two 4-ohm loads.
Every model in the North Collection boasts timeless MOON styling features with improved performance. The 641 is no exception, with its slimline form factor ensuring it fits seamlessly into any environment.
The 681 features the MOON Digital Engine 1 which is using an extremely high quality clock and FPGA control for re-clocking and also a very high quality DAC… both texture and sound are amazing!
