Offered is „280D ( Streaming Digital/Analog Wandler )“ by Moon as exhibit from the category „Digital Streamer“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1235462427 ends on 23.11.2026 at 14:14 o'clock.
At €2,999, this is an ambitious ask rather than a bargain: it sits above the €2,769 75th-percentile comparable and well clear of the €2,529 median. For a clean example, a price nearer the high €2,000s would look more compelling; at the current figure, condition and included extras need to be exceptional.
The 280D remains a desirable, properly built streaming DAC, combining a strong digital-input selection with balanced XLR and RCA outputs, MiND 2 streaming, Roon Ready operation, AirPlay 2, Qobuz, Tidal and support up to 32-bit/384 kHz PCM and DSD256. It is a versatile, refined one-box source, especially for a system that values balanced connectivity. Confirm that this is the MiND 2 version, with remote, Wi-Fi antenna and original packaging; otherwise, there is little reason to pay above the established market.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Moon by Simaudio traces its roots to 1980, when Victor Sima, an Israeli émigré and qualified audio engineer, founded Sima Electronique in Canada with a deliberate mission to craft superior-sounding products at accessible prices. Initially targeting professionals, the brand—later renamed Simaudio—quickly captivated audiophiles for its sonic excellence and value. Sima retired in 1994, selling to Jean Poulin, whose leadership propelled the evolution into the premium MOON series, building on successes like the Celeste line and in-house innovations from their Quebec facilities.
The company specializes in high-performance electronics, excelling in amplifiers, integrated systems, preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and digital converters such as DACs. All products undergo meticulous hand-assembly, in-house chassis machining, and rigorous burn-in testing in Montreal-area factories, emphasizing precision engineering over mass production. While not venturing into speakers, turntables, headphones, or cables, MOON's lineup—from reference-grade flagships to the more approachable "1" series—delivers trickle-down technology for broad appeal.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Moon by Simaudio commands respect as a boutique Canadian powerhouse, blending audiophile purity with user-friendly design. Privately held and exported to 45 countries, it rejects esoteric tweaks in favor of natural, detailed sound that invites music lovers to truly immerse themselves, sustaining vibrant success without compromising its heritage of engineering excellence.
