Installation & Placement
The Nēo 380D requires only minimal ventilation to maintain an optimum and consistent operating temperature. However, you should avoid placing it near a heat source as this could compromise the Digital-to-
Analog Converter’s performance and reliability. As well, it should be placed on a solid level surface. The 380D uses toroidal transformers; even though they are well shielded, you should not place the Digital-to-Analog
Converter too close to source components sensitive to
EMI, such as a turntables.
Since your Nēo 380D is equipped with the “MiND”
Music Streamer feature you must install the included
Wi-Fi antenna on the back panel by screwing it into the socket labelled “WIFI ANT”.
Please visit our website to download PDF versions of both the “MiND Setup Guide” and
“MiND App User Guide”.
If you intend to use the Nēo 380D’s USB input connection (PCM or DSD) with a Windowsbased computer, you will need to install our
USB HD DSD driver, which can be downloaded
from the support section of our website.
Note: Apple-based computers don’t require this
driver.

Front Panel Controls
Figure 1: Nēo 380D Front panel
The front panel will look similar to Figure 1 (above). The large digital display window indicates the selected digital input (“D1” thru “D8”) its corresponding sampling frequency in kHz (“44.1” thru “192.0”) of the source material currently being played. The “Standby” button disengages all outputs from the rest of the Nēo 380D’s circuitry and turns off the digital display. However, when in “Standby” mode, all digital and analog audio circuitry remains powered up to help maintain optimal performance. When switching back from “Standby” to the “on” mode, the selected ‘input’ will be memorized from the previous listening session. The blue indicator LED turns off when the
380D is in “Standby” mode.
The “Display” button allows you to turn the digital display on and off. The “Mute” button mutes all analog output signals. Pressing the “Mute” button a second time will reinstate all analog output signals. When the output signal is muted, the aforementioned contents in the digital display window will repeatedly flash on and off.
The “Digital Monitor” button provides for a dedicated loop to be used with either a digital audio component that can record & playback (DAT, CD-Recorder, etc.) or a digital signal processor such as a room correction device. Pressing this button allows you to (1) monitor the recording as it occurs on the recording device or (2) engage the effects of the signal processor. The monitor component’s digital output must be connected to the
380D’s “Digital Monitor In” and its digital input must be connected to the 380D’s “Digital Monitor Out”. The corresponding LED to the right of the display window will illuminate when the “Digital Monitor” function is engaged.
The two (2) buttons labeled “ ◄ Input ►” allow you to sequentially scroll, either forward “ ►” or backward “◄” through all the digital inputs. The inputs are ordered as follows going forward ( ►): “D1”, “D2”, “D3” , “D4” , “D5” ,
“D6” , “D7” and “D8”. When you change inputs, the display window will show the new digital input and briefly four (4) dashes “----”. These dashes indicate that the Nēo 380D is in the process of locking onto a digital signal – this may take several seconds. Once the 380D successfully locks onto the digital signal, the four dashes will be replaced by the sampling rate frequency of this digital signal. When the selected digital input signal cannot be locked onto, “----” remains in the display window. The 380D is capable of processing a PCM digital signal at one of the following eight (8) different sampling rates: “44.1”, “48.0”, “88.2”, “96.0” , “176.4” ,
“192.0” , “352.8” and “384.0” (all in kHz) or a DSD digital signal at one of the following three (3) data rates DSD64
(2.82MHz), DSD128 (5.64MHz) and DSD256 (11.28MHz);
For DSD input signals, the corresponding information will appear in the display window as “DSd” , “DSd.2” and
“DSd.4” for these data rates, respectively.
Notes: (i) DSD format signals can ONLY be played through the USB (“D8”) input. (ii) PCM format signals with sample-rates of 352.8kHz and 384kHz can ONLY be played through the
USB (“D8”) input (iii) The digital outputs are not enabled when the D8 (USB) or D9 (Network) input is selected .

Owner’s Manual
A corresponding red LED, located to the right of the display window, will turn onbased on selected input type: “TOSLINK” (for “D6” and “D7”) , “S/PDIF” (“D3”, “D4” and “D5”), “AES/EBU” (“D1” and “D2”) or “USB” (“D8”).
Note: you cannot connect a USB flash drive or external hard drive to the “D8” input.
Rear Panel Connections
For the “MiND” music streaming module, the assigned input is “D9”, the sampling rate will appear in the display as it does for inputs “D1” thru “D8”, and the red
“NETWORK” LED will illuminate. Alternatively, you can show the current track’s elasped time in the display when you press and hold the ‘display’ button; Repeat this action to show the sampling rate.
Figure 2: Nēo 380D Rear panel
The rear panel will look similar to Figure 2 (above). On the left side are two rows of analog outputs; The bottom row has two pairs labeled “Right” and “Left”, each with a single-ended RCA and balanced XLR connector. These are
“Fixed Level” outputs, intended to be connected to a line-level input on either your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. The top row also has two pairs labeled “Right” and “Left”, each with a single-ended RCA and balanced
XLR connector. These are the OPTIONAL “Variable Level” outputs, whereby the volume level can only be adjusted using the included remote control. These are meant to be connected directly to your power amplifier’s input;
They can be also connected to a line-level input on either your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. We strongly recommend that you use the balanced XLR connectors on your 380D to maximize its level of performance. Don’t hesitate to use high quality interconnect cables*. Poor quality interconnect cables can degrade the overall sonic performance of your system.
There is one “Digital SPDIF Output” on an RCA connector, immediately followed by the SPDIF digital
“Monitor Loop” with one input and one output, both on
RCA connectors. Next is a group of eight (8) “Digital
Inputs” labelled “D1” thru “D8”. Inputs “D1” and “D2” are
AES/EBU on 3-pin XLR connectors and they benefit most from cables with an impedance of 110
Ω. Inputs
“D3”, “D4” and “D5” are S/PDIF – the first two on RCA connectors and the third on a BNC connector, benefitting most from cables with an impedance of
75
Ω. Inputs “D6” and “D7” are Optical and use a Toslink connector. Finally, input “D8” is USB type-B connector.
Don’t hesitate to use high quality digital interconnect cables*.
The space directly above the row of digital inputs is reserved for the “MiND” Music Streamer. You will see a socket for a WiFi antenna and a RJ45 ethernet connector socket. Please consult the “MiND Setup Guide” and
“MiND User Guide” for further details.
The upper right side of the rear panel has various connectors for external communications. The Nēo
380D is equipped with full-function bi-directional RS-
232 port control and status for custom integration or automation, as well as future software updates. Next to the RS-232 port are two (2) “SimLink™” connectors labeled “in” and “out” on 1/8” mini jacks. Please refer to the next section entitled SimLink™ for more details.
Then there is a 1/8” mini-jack input for use with aftermarket infrared remote control receivers. Finally, there’s a 12V trigger output on a 1/8” mini-jack.
On the far right side is the main power switch (“0”=off,
“1”=on), the IEC receptacle, labeled “AC Input” for the included AC power cord, and the “AC Fuse” socket
9
380D Nēo
Series cover. Connect the supplied AC power cable to the IEC receptacle. Ensure that the AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you plug your 380D directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord.
If you have the time and willingness, consider installing a superior quality AC wall outlet such as a hospital grade
Hubbell*.
* Please speak with your MOON Authorized Retailer about the benefits of high quality cables for your system, and superior quality AC wall outlet.
SimLink™
The main feature of SimLink™ on the Nēo 380D, involves the “Standby” function. By pressing down and holding the “Standby” button for 2 seconds on the
380D, all other MOON components connected via the
SimLink will go into “Standby” mode along with the
380D. The same logic applies when switching from
“Standby” to active mode. However, if your Nēo 380D is equipped with both the “MiND” Music Streamer and the variable analog outputs, then the SimLink™ offers many more features: Volume, Mute, Standby, Digital Input
Selection all via the “MiND” app running on your Apple device.
If you are using an external “MiND” Music Streamer with your 380D you should make a SimLink™ connection between the “MiND”s SimLink™ out and the 380D’s
SimLink™ in. When you press the X (play) button on the
“MiND” App, the 380D will automatically switch to the
“D1” input. You can change the default for the “MiND” as follows: Select the input that you want as the new default for “MiND”, then press and hold the INPUT X
(right) button until the front panel display briefly shows
‘Str”.
If you are using a MOON CD Transport or CD Player with your 380D you should make a SimLink™ connection between the “CD”s SimLink™ out and the 380D’s
SimLink™ in. The default input is the “D3” which means that when you press the X (play) button on the CD, the
380D will automatically switch to the “D3” input. You can change the default for the “CD” as follows: Select the input that you want as the new default for “CD”, then press and hold the INPUT ◄ (left) button until the front panel display briefly shows “CD”.
10
The connection rules for the SimLink™ are very straightforward. You must always connect the supplied cable between one component’s “SimLink™ Out” jack and another component’s “SimLink™ In” jack. If you inadvertently connect the cable between either two
“SimLink™ In” or two “SimLink™ Out” jacks, the SimLink™ communication feature will not function. Also, there is no master component in a SimLink™ chain; no one particular component operates as the main communications controller. If you are using your Nēo
380D with an older MOON product such as a P-7, P-8 or i-7, you will need to update the software of the older product to allow for complete SimLink™ functionality.
Contact your retailer for further details.
Operating the 380D
We recommend leaving your Nēo 380D powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance. When you plan on being away for a few days, it may not be a bad idea to power off your DAC. Please keep in mind that once fully “broken-in”, your 380D requires several hours of operation before reaching optimal performance after powering it up again.
Turning on your Nēo 380D for the first time
Prior to turning the DAC on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any problems. Flick the main rocker switch, located on the rear panel, labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position.
Next, briefly press the push button labeled “Standby” located on the front panel. You will hear a very faint click sound confirming that everything is in order. The blue LED on the front panel will illuminate, indicating that the 380D is now powered up and ready for use.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and
“pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering your 380D on or off, you should always power up your
380D before powering up your preamplifier, integrated amplifier or power amplifier. As well, always power down your 380D after powering down your preamplifier, integrated amplifier or power amplifier.
Owner’s Manual
Balanced Operation
When using an unbalanced interconnect, the audio signal runs through both the center wire and the shield/ground wire. Any noise picked up by this interconnect (ie. nearby magnetic fields such as an AC power cord) will be reproduced by both the preamplifier and amplifier, then heard through the loudspeakers. Conversely, a balanced interconnect has three separate conductors; one for the ground and two for the actual signal. These two signals are identical except that one is 180 degrees out of phase with the other. For example, when one conductor is carrying a signal of +4 Volts, the other will be carrying a signal of –
4 Volts. When these two inverted signals on a balanced line are output from the Nēo 380D, any noise picked up by the interconnect will be eliminated since a differential circuit amplifies only the difference between these two signals: Noise on a balanced interconnect will be equal on both conductors and therefore cancel out .

Remote Control Operation
The Nēo 380D Digital-to-Analog Converter uses the ‘CRM-3’ full-function remote control (figure 6). It operates on the Philips RC-5 communication protocol and can be used with other Simaudio MOON components.
The ‘CRM-3’ remote uses two CR-2032 batteries (included). To install them, simply slide the back plate off; insert the batteries in the correct direction and then replace the back plate.
To engage the ‘CRM-3’ remote for use with the Nēo 380D, you must first press the button labeled D/A.
The ( Power) button, located on the upper left, will switch the Digital-to-Analog
Converter to either ‘Standby’ or ‘On’ mode.
The DISPLAY button turns the front panel display on and off.
The 2 buttons labelled INPUT allow you to sequentially scroll, either backwards or forwards, through all nine (9) available inputs. For example, to switch from “D4” to
“D1” you may press either INPUT three (3) times or INPUT six (6) times. Pressing and holding down either of these buttons results in only a single change to the selected input.
The MUTE button turns off the output volume. Pressing the “Mute” button a second time will reinstate the output volume level back to its current setting.
For Nēo 380D’s equipped with the optional volume control:
The 2 buttons labelled - VOL + allow you to control the volume level. Pressing VOL
- results in a decrease in the volume level; Pressing VOL + results in an increase in the volume level. You may either press and hold these buttons down or press them briefly to make volume adjustments.
NOTE: The two buttons labelled BAL don’t affect the operation of the 380D.
