Wholistic
The 641 focuses on careful internal layout and vertical heatsinks for thermal and mechanical stability. Usability combines the 4.3″ display, local controls, and MOONLink connectivity for easy coordination with other North Collection components. Standby options include a low-power mode (2.5 W) for everyday convenience. The rear panel provides line inputs, a line output, and clearly laid-out speaker terminals for neat wiring. The BRM-1 intelligent remote is included for direct control. Whether used on its own or paired with a dedicated source such as the MOON 681, the 641 favors a clear, reliable experience aligned with North Collection design.
Performance
At its core, the MDCA + M-VOL3 pairing sets the 641 apart. MDCA lowers noise and distortion; M-VOL3 secures channel tracking and fine-grained adjustment. The dual-mono topology and robust power supply preserve signal integrity from inputs to binding posts. Published figures — 0.003% THD+N @ 125 W, –109 dB crosstalk — confirm stable performance at real listening levels. The 4.3″ display streamlines access to settings. For digital playback and streaming, the MOON 681 is a natural companion with smooth coordination through MOONLink. The result is precise, durable performance consistent with the North Collection identity.
