Installation & Placement

The Nēo 380D requires only minimal ventilation to
maintain an optimum and consistent operating
temperature. However, you should avoid placing it
near a heat source as this could compromise the
Digital-to-Analog Converter’s performance and
reliability. As well, it should be placed on a solid
level surface. The 380D uses toroidal transformers;
even though they are well shielded, you should not
place the Digital-to-Analog Converter too close to
source components sensitive to EMI, such as a
turntables.

In the event that your Nēo 380D is equipped with
the “MiND” Music Streamer option and you intend
to use its wireless streaming feature (between your

Guide”.

wireless router and your 380D), you must install the
included Wi-Fi antenna on the back panel by
screwing it into the socket labelled “WIFI ANT”.

If your Nēo 380D is equipped with the DAC
option and you intend to use the USB input
connection (PCM or DSD) with a Windows­based computer, you will need to install our
USB HD DSD driver, which can be downloaded
from the support section of our website.

Note: Apple-based computers don’t require
this driver.

Front Panel Controls

Figure 1: Nēo 380D Front panel

The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above).
The large digital display window indicates the
selected digital input (“D1” thru “D8”) its
corresponding sampling frequency in kHz (“44.1”
thru “192.0”) of the source material currently being
played. The “Standby” button disengages all outputs
from the rest of the Nēo 380D’s circuitry and turns
off the digital display. However, when in “Standby”
mode, all digital and analog audio circuitry remains
powered up to help maintain optimal performance.
When switching back from “Standby” to the “on”
mode, the selected ‘input’ will be memorized from
the previous listening session. The blue indicator
LED turns off when the 380D is in “Standby” mode.

The “Display” button allows you to turn the digital
display on and off. The “Mute” button mutes all
analog output signals. Pressing the “Mute” button a
second time will reinstate all analog output signals.
When the output signal is muted, the
aforementioned contents in the digital display
window will repeatedly flash on and off.

The “Digital Monitor” button provides for a dedicated
loop to be used with either a digital audio
component that can record & playback (DAT, CD­Recorder, etc.) or a digital signal processor such as
a room correction device. Pressing this button allows
you to (1) monitor the recording as it occurs on the
recording device or (2) engage the effects of the
signal processor. The monitor component’s digital
output must be connected to the 380D’s “Digital
Monitor In” and its digital input must be connected
to the 380D’s “Digital Monitor Out”. The

corresponding LED to the right of the display
window will illuminate when the “Digital Monitor”
function is engaged.

The two (2) buttons labeled “◄ Input ►” allow you to
sequentially scroll, either forward “►” or backward
“◄” through all the digital inputs. The inputs are
ordered as follows going forward (►): “D1”, “D2”,
“D3” , “D4” , “D5” , “D6” , “D7” and “D8”. When you
change inputs, the display window will show the
new digital input and briefly four (4) dashes “----”.
These dashes indicate that the Nēo 380D is in the
process of locking onto a digital signal – this may
take several seconds. Once the 380D successfully
locks onto the digital signal, the four dashes will be
replaced by the sampling rate frequency of this
digital signal. When the selected digital input signal
cannot be locked onto, “----” remains in the display
window. The 380D is capable of processing a PCM
digital signal at one of the following eight (8)
different sampling rates: “44.1”, “48.0”, “88.2”,
“96.0” , “176.4” , “192.0” , “352.8” and “384.0” (all
in kHz) or a DSD digital signal at one of the
following three (3) data rates DSD64 (2.82MHz),
DSD128 (5.64MHz) and DSD256 (11.28MHz); For
DSD input signals, the corresponding information
will appear in the display window as “DSd” , “DSd.2”
and “DSd.4” for these data rates, respectively.

Notes: (i) DSD format signals can ONLY be
played through the USB (“D8”) input. (ii) PCM
format signals with sample-rates of 352.8kHz
and 384kHz can ONLY be played through the
USB (“D8”) input.

Rear Panel Connections

Figure 2: Nēo 380D Rear panel

The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above).
On the left side are two rows of analog outputs; The
bottom row has two pairs labeled “Right” and “Left”,
each with a single-ended RCA and balanced XLR
connector. These are “Fixed Level” outputs,
intended to be connected to a line-level input on
either your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The
top row also has two pairs labeled “Right” and
“Left”, each with a single-ended RCA and balanced
XLR connector. These are the OPTIONAL “Variable
Level” outputs, whereby the volume level can only
be adjusted using the included remote control.
These are meant to be connected directly to your
power amplifier’s input; They can be also connected
to a line-level input on either your preamplifier or
integrated amplifier. We strongly recommend that
you use the balanced XLR connectors on your 380D
to maximize its level of performance. Don’t hesitate
to use high quality interconnect cables*. Poor
quality interconnect cables can degrade the overall
sonic performance of your system.

There is one “Digital SPDIF Output” on an RCA
connector, immediately followed by the SPDIF digital
“Monitor Loop” with one input and one output, both
on RCA connectors. Next is a group of eight (8)
“Digital Inputs” labelled “D1” thru “D8”. Inputs “D1”
and “D2” are AES/EBU on 3-pin XLR connectors and

they benefit most from cables with an impedance of
110Ω. Inputs “D3”, “D4” and “D5” are S/PDIF – the
first two on RCA connectors and the third on a BNC
connector, benefitting most from cables with an
impedance of 75Ω. Inputs “D6” and “D7” are Optical
and use a Toslink connector. Finally, input “D8” is
USB type-B connector. Don’t hesitate to use high
quality digital interconnect cables*.

details.

The upper right side of the rear panel has various
connectors for external communications. The Nēo
380D is equipped with full-function bi-directional
RS-232 port control and status for custom
integration or automation, as well as future software
updates. Next to the RS-232 port are two (2)
“SimLink™” connectors labeled “in” and “out” on

The main feature of SimLink™ on the Nēo 380D,
involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down
and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on
the 380D, all other MOON components connected
via the SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along
with the 380D. The same logic applies when
switching from “Standby” to active mode. However,
if your MOON 380D is equipped with both the
“MiND” Music Streamer and the variable analog
outputs, then the SimLink™ offers many more
features: Volume, Mute, Standby. Digital Input

The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very
straightforward. You must always connect the
supplied cable between one component’s “SimLink™
Out” jack and another component’s “SimLink™ In”
jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between
either two “SimLink™ In” or two “SimLink™ Out”
jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not
function. Also, there is no master component in a
SimLink™ chain; no one particular component
operates as the main communications controller. If
you are using your Nēo 380D with an older MOON
product such as a P-7, P-8 or i-7, you will need to
update the software of the older product to allow for
complete SimLink™ functionality. Contact your
retailer for further details.

Operating the 380D

We recommend leaving your Nēo 380D powered
up at all times to maintain optimal performance.
When you plan on being away for a few days, it may
not be a bad idea to power off your DAC. Please

Turning on your Nēo 380D for the first time

Prior to turning the DAC on for the first time, make
sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid
any problems. Flick the main rocker switch, located
on the rear panel, labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on)
position. Next, briefly press the push button labeled

On and Off Sequence

To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps”
and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when
powering your 380D on or off, you should always
power up your 380D before powering up your

As well, always power down your 380D after
powering down your preamplifier, integrated

380 D Digital to Analog Converter

Balanced Operation

When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio
signal runs through both the center wire and the
shield/ground wire. Any noise picked up by this
interconnect (ie. nearby magnetic fields such as an
AC power cord) will be reproduced by both the
preamplifier and amplifier, then heard through the
loudspeakers. Conversely, a balanced interconnect
has three separate conductors; one for the ground
and two for the actual signal. These two signals are
identical except that one is 180 degrees out of

phase with the other. For example, when one
conductor is carrying a signal of +4 Volts, the other
will be carrying a signal of –4 Volts. When these
two inverted signals on a balanced line are output
from the MOON 380D, any noise picked up by the
interconnect will be eliminated since a differential
circuit amplifies only the difference between these
two signals: Noise on a balanced interconnect will
be equal on both conductors and therefore cancel
