The cornerstone of the North Collection offers top-quality playback quality, a wealth of features and never-before-seen build quality. This top-of-the-line MOON preamplifier is the result of decades of research and development in industry-leading technologies and techniques. Equipped with a DAC streamer, phono preamp and graphical interface with the renewed but recognizable North Collection aesthetic.

Made to take full advantage of MOON's MiND2 streaming platform, the 891 evokes the finest details of digital music files. Local bookstores and online streaming services are seamlessly integrated into the MiND Controller app for iOS and Android. In addition, MiND2 is compatible with AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect and Roon Ready.

The MDE3 digital technology is powered by a dual-mono pair of top-of-the-range 32bit converters with femto-second clocks to expose the potential of all stereo digital formats, including PCM, MQA and DSD, which can be accessed from its large number of digital inputs. The 891 is equipped with a high-performance MM and MC phono preamp, which can be configured in real time via its gorgeous 5” full-color OLED display.

In addition to allowing you to navigate the extensive menu, the screen shows album art as well as volume, input selection and playback information. Also, thanks to MOONLink technology, status messages from other compatible devices. The BRM-1 remote control offers the sophisticated control achieved with the MOON potentiometer from anywhere.

The MOON 891 incorporates innovative technological innovations such as the MOON Damping Base - a mechanical system that eliminates vibrations that cause micro-noises - and the M-RAY 2 volume control that features discrete resistors and improved parts.

The natural partner of the MOON 891 is the MOON 861 stage, with which the North Collection reaches the Olympus, composing a current sound system that offers an expressive sound of the highest quality, born from innovations and continuous technical progress that, for decades, the MOON team has carried out.
