Simaudio 650 seem close to mcd1100
Hi guys what are your thoughts about this Moon 650d it seems just as good spec as the mac and $3.5k cheaper?
I had a demo sounds nice. What are your thoughts? |

The Moon 650 uses the ESS ES9016 DAC. That's the same DAC McIntosh uses in their new $2500 D100 DAC/preamp. The Moon 750 and the MCD1100 both use the ESS ES9018S DAC. There will be some performance differences between the two DAC's. If the MCD1100 is still retailing at $10K, then the Simaudio Moon 750 equivalent at $12K puts it $2K over the Mac product and doesn't support SACD. Looking at the published specifications on both Moon DAC's, they appear to be fabulous performers, but before you make a purchase you should spend time with familiar music auditioning Moon and Mac. I owned two MCD1100 players, one each in two separate systems, and loved them. The MCD1100 is an SACD/CD/DAC. The Moon 650d and 750d are CD/DAC's only. The common ground isn't exactly as clear as it initially appears between the Moon 650d and the McIntosh MCD1100. |

Paul.......I neglected to look to see where you were located. No doubt about it, McIntosh prices are stout down under.
