All-in-one solutions are a deceptively complicated business, but the Moon ACE makes the job look simple. Easily moving between analog and digital platforms, it proved to be a sophisticated and highly musical workhorse, ran strongly without incident, and offered performance and flexibility that often out-stripped the competition.
The finest sounding and most complete “all-in-one” available, the ACE can do virtually anything expected of a high-performance audio component of this nature. Accentuated by our world renowned MOON sonic signature – visceral tight bass, transparent midrange, precise natural highs – along with lifelike sound, plus countless features, the ACE will be the “heart and soul” of all your musical indulgences.
The ACE is both intuitive and easy to use. Bridging digital and analog audio at a price/performance ratio that is impossible to beat, the ACE includes a high resolution DAC with DSD decoding up to DSD256 and 32-bit/384kHz PCM.
MiND 2 streaming module is Roon Ready and allows the playback of all the most common file formats, including DSD, and MQA file formats (via local files and TIDAL Master files).

It’s the integrated solution, a clarion call to downsize, to de-clutter, and to economize that might just prevent a range war with that significant other. Few components do it better, or have more fun doing it, than the Moon ACE all-in-one music player.
