The Moon Neo Ace is basically an entire high-end hi-fi system crammed into a single box. It boasts an integrated amplifier, Wi-Fi/Ethernet streaming, a Hi-Res Audio DAC, Bluetooth and a wide range of inputs for your other devices – including a moving-magnet phono stage for turntables. Just add speakers of your choice and away you go.

But this is no ordinary one-box system – Simaudio (the brains behind Moon) reckons this is one of the very finest all-in-one music players available, delivering the ‘world class’ sound quality for which Moon is renowned.

Of course, such sonic luxury is reflected in the savings-draining price tag, but given how much it would cost to assemble a separates system of this calibre, it could actually be seen as cracking value for money. Let’s find out if that’s the case.
