Moon Audio Eclipse

Extensive research and development led to the creation of the MOON Eclipse CD Player, a world-class component built for both the present and the future. This achievement was realized through the implementation of the very finest electronic components available for the established 16-bit/44.1kHz red-book standard by using four 24-bit DACs with an 8X oversampling digital filter in a fully balanced differential circuit. The result was an internal upsampling rate that featured 24-bit/352.8kHz processing.
