No I haven't decided yet. Have you heard the 891 in person?
Should I get the Moon 891 streamer/dac/preamp for my Moon 861 amp? Or separates?
I own a Moon Audio 861 amp. Right now I have a McIntosh mc12000 preamp and a eversolo A8 streamer. With Focal N1 Sopra speakers (that I am happy with). Obviously, with the streamer I am not getting the best sound I can from my Moon amp.
So, I decided I will sell my McIntosh M12000 pramp (it's so beautiful, it hurts to let go of it) and use the money for a dac/streamer/preamp.
I was thinking about the Moon 891 streamer/preamp/dac. It makes sense because I have the Moon 861 amp. But 25k is so much money, I was wondering... would it be better to use that money on a nice streamer and dac instead? Like a 10k on a streamer and 10k on a Chord dac? Or would it be best to stick with the Moon 891 for the synergy between that any my Moon amp? Looking to get the best sound I can from my amp.

@merv42 My Eversolo A10 recently died and it is out of warranty. Right now, that SimAudio Moon 10 year warranty is starting to look really good to me. |
I have a 791 - prior to it I owned a 390. I have been very pleased with the performance and support from Moon when I have had questions. I was having issues with drop outs - it was a modem issue. He called me after I shared logs from the MiND app and guided me through troubleshooting to get to the root cause and followed up with me a week or so later. There are many great audio companies and my experience with Moon has been excellent from service, upgrade promotions and the sound. Enjoy your journey. And I am jealous of your amp. (My amp is an 860A v2.) |
dman777, I have pulled the triger. I am expecting the 891 in the next couple of weeks. I was not able to demo the 891 in my home and in my room but I did bring home the 791 and it was excellent! My biggest concern was the phono section. In the store I was able to compare the 610LP with the phono section of the 891 and I did not hear any difference. Both are dead quite phono sections with crazy good dynamics. Excited to hear the 891 in my system.
