The Simaudio Moon Equinox CD SE is based on the well-established Simaudio Moon Eclipse CD Player and the audio circuitry of both the Moon Nova CD & Moon Orion DVD Players, the Equinox SE operates with an internal up-sampling rate that features 24bit/352.8kHz processing. Intended as a companion source component for the Simaudio Moon i-3 Integrated Amplifier, the Equinox SE will also provide superior performance when paired with virtually any other integrated amplifier or preamplifier available. The SE (Special Edition) version of the Equinox benefits from upgraded higher tolerance components in several key areas of the circuit. The result is a sonic presentation smooth and detailed, devoid of digital artifacts. The new SE version also delivers improved low-level detail retrieval, better bass extension, a much lowered noise floor, and a non-fatiguing high-frequency presentation that need to be heard to be believed. The Equinox SE CD Player even comes with Simaudio's outstanding 10 Year Warranty (Transport is 3Yrs)! This is a serious contender for one of the world’s best-looking and best sounding designs anywhere near its price!

“The [Equinox]SE’s sonics have improved with harmonic subtleties and greater contrasts that delve deeper into the recesses of the soundstage. And thanks to construction quality that verges on bunker-building, Simaudio continues to break ground in the areas of resonance and isolation control-innovations that can be clearly heard in a lower noise floor, greater sensitivity to microdynamics, and cleaner, smoother transients. Simaudio also has a firm handle on developing software that work: Its players react to user inputs with electrifying speed; track selections are instantaneous; and the drawer mechanism obeys commands as if it had a fighter pilot at the controls. Long-term reliability has been flawless. The Equinox couldn’t be more worthy of the Golden Ear!”
- Neil Gader, The Absolute Sound, Golden Ear Award Winner, June 2008
