Simaudio’s latest release, the MOON 371, is a do-it-all audio component that combines a network player, amplifier, preamp, DAC, and phono stage into one sleek box. Priced at $6,500 USD / £6,250 / €6,800 / CA$8,800, it’s the first product in the brand-new Compass Collection, aimed at giving listeners a taste of high-end audio without going full flagship.

Whether you're streaming from Spotify, playing local hi-res files, or dropping the needle on your favorite vinyl, the 371 is designed to be the central hub of your setup—just add speakers.

The 371 marks the debut of MOON’s Compass Collection, which sits just below the company’s top-tier North lineup. Think of Compass as a more approachable way to get into premium sound, while still borrowing tech from the heavy hitters.

And borrow it does. The 371 includes two pieces of proprietary tech from the North Collection: the MOON Hybrid Power (MHP) supply and the MOON Distortion Cancelling Amplifier (MDCA). In plain English, that means cleaner power delivery, reduced distortion, and smoother, more dynamic sound.

It’s designed to give listeners much of what makes MOON’s flagship gear special—without jumping to the $11,000+ price points of the North gear.

“The 371 represents the future of modern audio,” says Moon’s chief commercial officer, Etienne Gautier. “This model embodies our commitment to redefining how we approach audio design. By listening closely to the valuable feedback of our customers and partners, we’ve developed a fresh approach to creating a Moon product. It delivers uncompromising performance and striking aesthetics in a single component, all at a price point that opens the door to premium audio for many music lovers for the first time.”

What makes the 371 stand out is how much it packs into a single chassis. Here’s what you’re getting:

  • A 100W-per-channel amplifier (200W into 4 ohms)
  • A phono stage for both MM and MC cartridges
  • A hi-res DAC that supports up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD256
  • A network streamer with support for Tidal, Qobuz, Spotify, Deezer, and more
  • A preamp and headphone amp, too

Basically, this is a one-stop shop for almost any audio source—whether digital or analog. For vinyl fans, the built-in phono stage pulls from MOON’s higher-end designs, offering 40 dB gain for MM and 60 dB for MC, so you’re covered no matter what cartridge you’re using.

And if digital is more your thing, you’ve got options. The rear panel is packed with ports: USB-C, coaxial, optical, HDMI ARC for TV setups, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, plus a grounding post for your turntable.

At the heart of the 371’s digital smarts is MOON’s MiND 2 platform, which gives you app control and access to your favorite streaming services. It works with Roon, Apple AirPlay, and even Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, and Qobuz Connect, so you can use your phone or tablet as the remote and stream lossless music directly from the app of your choice.

And yes, Bluetooth is built in, too—for those times when you just want to keep things simple.

The 371 comes with MOON’s CRM-4 remote, designed to match the Compass Collection. If you want to get fancy, you can upgrade to the BRM-1, which features its own screen and is normally included with North Collection gear.

Design-wise, the 371 keeps things simple and stylish. It comes in MOON’s familiar two-tone (black and silver) or all-black finish, with a 17cm color display on the front panel that shows album artwork, song info, and system settings.

Weighing in at 9kg, it’s substantial without being overbearing, and the low-profile chassis should fit into most hi-fi racks or furniture setups. Like other MOON gear, it’s designed and hand-built in Canada and backed by a 10-year warranty.

The MOON 371 is ideal for anyone who wants to simplify their hi-fi setup without cutting corners. If you’ve been juggling a separate DAC, amp, and streamer—or you’re just starting to build a serious system—this all-in-one could replace the clutter while still delivering audiophile-grade sound.

And even though it’s technically the “entry-level” model in the new Compass Collection, there’s not much entry-level about it. Between the trickle-down tech, wide-ranging inputs, and hi-res playback, the 371 holds its own in a space where separates often rule.

If you're looking for a high-performance all-in-one that can handle vinyl, hi-res streaming, Bluetooth, and even your TV, the MOON 371 makes a strong case. It’s easy to use, well-built, and pulls tech from some of MOON’s best gear.

At $6,500, it’s not exactly casual money—but for those who want a long-term solution with serious performance (and fewer boxes to deal with), the 371 could be a solid fit.
