Key Features & Design
-
OLED Display: Features a clear, customizable OLED screen that lets you rename inputs, adjust input gains, and view incoming digital sample rates.
- Build Quality: Hand-assembled in Canada with Simaudio's signature rigid chassis design aimed at dampening external vibrations.
- SimLink™ Integration: Proprietary protocol to daisy-chain other MOON components so they power on and sync together seamlessly.
- 10-Year Warranty: Reflecting Simaudio's reputation for reliability, the 240i includes a 10-year warranty upon registration.
Sound Profile & Performance
-
Tone: Characterized as neutral, organic, and articulate. It delivers precise musical detail without feeling overly sterile or fatiguing.
- Control: Despite a moderate 50W rating, its power supply delivers solid current reserve, driving lower-impedance or harder-to-drive speakers better than typical entry-level 50-watt receivers.
- Phono & DAC: The onboard MM phono stage and high-res DAC are well-implemented out of the box.
