Simaudio MOON Andromeda Reference CD Player

Up for sale is a Simaudio MOON Andromeda CD Player. It is a fully-balanced differential design, and represents the next generation of MOON high-performance audio components. The Andromeda utilizes the very finest electronic components in conjunction with an astonishing 24-bit/705.6kHz internal up-sampling circuit and several newly developed proprietary technologies. The Andromeda brings the Redbook CD standard to previously unattainable performance levels. Further raising the bar, the MOON Andromeda can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment via an RS-232 port. Retail: $16,000 I am the original owner and have never had any problems with this unit. This unit has always remained in a pet-free, child-free and smoke-free environment.
