MOON 371: All-in-One Streaming Amplifier with DAC and Phono Stage

All-in-one HiFi systems are becoming increasingly popular, even in the high-end segment. Many listeners prefer a single, central solution that combines streaming, D/A conversion, amplification and analogue playback rather than stacking multiple separates. With the MOON 371, Canadian manufacturer Simaudio Ltd. launches the first model of the brand-new MOON Compass Collection, positioned below the well-established North Collection. The MOON 371 aims to bridge modern streaming with traditional HiFi values by uniting amplifier, DAC, streaming platform, preamp and phono stage in one refined chassis.

Design and Build Quality

The MOON 371 follows a modern, minimalist design with a centrally placed, generously sized colour display. This not only shows album art and playback details but also system information in a clear and legible way. With a standard HiFi width of 42.9 cm and a weight of 9 kg, the unit presents itself as both solid and compact, suitable for integration into a variety of listening environments.

Amplification and Power Supply

At its core, the MOON 371 employs a Class-AB amplifier delivering 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 200 watts at 4 ohms. Power is supplied by the newly developed MHP (MOON Hybrid Power) supply, designed to provide exceptionally stable voltages for consistent performance.

Low-Distortion Signal Processing

Simaudio integrates its MDCA (MOON Distortion Cancelling Amplifier) technology to minimise distortion and improve linearity. According to the manufacturer, the amplifier achieves a signal-to-noise ratio of 108 dB and a damping factor of 425 – specifications that promise clean and precise signal handling.

Digital-to-Analogue Conversion and Streaming

The built-in MiND 2 streaming platform provides access to TIDAL, Qobuz, Deezer and Spotify. Compatibility with Apple AirPlay, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect and full Roon Ready certification ensures seamless integration into modern streaming setups.

Connectivity – Digital and Analogue Options

For digital sources, the MOON 371 offers two coaxial and one optical S/PDIF input, alongside a USB-C port for PC or Mac connection. An HDMI input with ARC and CEC support makes it an ideal partner for TV integration. Bluetooth adds convenience for quick wireless playback.

On the analogue side, the MOON 371 includes a high-quality phono stage supporting both MM and MC cartridges, a pair of RCA inputs, balanced XLR inputs, and a pre-out for external amplification. A front headphone jack is also available.

Control and Operation

Operation is possible via the front panel, the MiND app (iOS and Android), the included CRM-4 metal remote or the optional BRM-1 remote. The app provides convenient access to streaming services and system settings, while the remote underscores the premium character with its robust, high-quality finish.

The MOON 371 is manufactured in Canada and undergoes extensive quality checks before shipping. Backed by a 10-year warranty, the device is clearly intended as a long-term investment in high-quality HiFi.
