Moon Andromeda Brochure

... The leading edge in music & film reproduction

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - January 5, 2005

Simaudio Ltd. proudly introduces the MOON Andromeda CD Player. A fully-balanced differential design housed in
two separate chassis, the Andromeda represents an “all-out assault” on the CD Red Book digital standard, producing
a level of sonic performance with no equal. Quite simply, the MOON Andromeda raises the bar to previously
unattainable levels. This colossal achievement is the result of a combination of extensive R&D yielding new proprietary
technologies and the use of the very finest electronic parts available. To push the envelope even further, the
Andromeda can be fully integrated into a custom-install environment and provides for a plethora of user selectable
cosmetic options.

“Celebrating 25 Years of Excellence”

MOON Andromeda Significant Design Features:

• Internal 24-bit/705.6kHz upsampling using BurrBrown DF1704 Digital Filter with 16X oversampling.

• Four precision-matched 24-bit BurrBrown PCM1704U-K "Digital To Analog" converters.

• Full unsolicited RS-232 bidirectional feedback.

• Digital input for use as a digital-to-analog converter with either a digital music server or external transport.

• Custom proprietary toroidal transformer design with lower magnetic, electrical and thermal loss, yielding an

improved power transfer and lower regulation factor. The result is increased current speed and better dynamics.

• Separate digital and analog power supplies housed in an external chassis.

• Philips CD-Pro 2-M transport mechanism mounted on our new gel-based Delta (Δ) suspension.

• Alpha Clocking Circuit with PLL synchronization yielding a very precise 5PPM digital clocking circuit.

• Power supply voltage regulation includes i

chip (i.e. OpAmp, DAC, Digital Filter, etc.) in the audio circuit’s signal path – 56 stages in all.

Aesthetics: 24 end-user selectable cosmetics combinations: the MOON Logo can be chrome (standard), gold or

pewter; leg cones can be chrome (standard) or gold; Front panel cheeks can be silver (standard) or black;
Brushed/Anodized front face-plate can be silver or black.

• Top loading drawer with custom design disc clamping system for improved stability and long term reliability.

• A capacitor-free signal path using a DC servo circuit and proprietary 6db/octave analog filter.

• Four-layer PCB tracings; 1 on top for ground plane, 1 on the bottom for power circuitry and 2 in middle for the

audio signals. The advantages include better ground and power supply circuit layouts resulting in a much shorter
signal path and dramatically improved signal-to-noise ratio.

• Extremely rigid chassis construction to minimize the effects of external vibrations.

• Accurate matching of the very finest quality electronic components in a symmetrical circuit design.
