PS audio or Moon


Ive been on a search to upgrade my HT system for better music listening. Im looking at the Moon 390(if i can find one used), PS Audio Stellar Strata, or a PS Gain Cell Dac + a Bluesound Node x or Vault 2i.  Any one have opinions on these options?

The interesting thing about the 390: its ROON endpoint capability.  You could do a ROON trial on a PC.  If you like Roon then build up a Small Green Computer Sonic Transport i5 to run the core and have a setup that could be better than a BS Node, depending on your goals.  The interface and Meta Data of Roon will open doors like never before.

Interesting 

Thanks guys.  It does seem that moon is better for streaming.  PS admittedly doesnt have the best streaming interface.  Id  be ok with that if the dac and pre are superior. Biggest obstacle w the moon for me is price. 

The 390 is nice.  Build quality on Sim Audio/ Moon is very high.   Really nice stuff

I’m a huge Moon fan….  Great product and value. 

If you live a Moon dealer you can also try to obtain a factory refurbished one from folks who trade up. Likely 75% of MSRP
