I have to fix the sound first. It sounds terrible. I found this below review on the mirage mms-5a (mb100 is a mms-5a with built in dac really). It corresponds with what I suspected. The audio is compromised in the software (autonomic's fault), probably due to the capabilities of the audio dsp on the mobo. Unfortunately I don't have the testing equipment this reviewer had but I can try a couple of things and try to hear a difference. I don't expect a mcd550 kind of performance but it is fair to expect ipod on a dock kind of performance out of this fancy box.
