Wow I know things move quick in the AV world but it seems the mx160 & 122 was just introduced. End of 2015 right? I guess that was almost 4 years ago. How time flies the older I get.

Why did they limit the new MX 170 by making it only HDCP 2.2 compliant compared to the MX123 with HDCP 2.3, which came out in early 2018?

Where’s the Blu-Ray player? Must be just around the corner.
MX123 looks very enticing to me. What’s the IMAX processing? Sounds interesting!

Can someone share the differences between the MX160 and MX170? Trying to decided if a upgrade is needed or not. thanks

Seems the main difference is full support of 4K @ 60hz and all the HDR.
Wonder if the MX170 will get ROON support? |

Does Mc ever say which DAC chips are used in different HT models?
I wonder is the DAC chip in the MX122 is the same on the new 123, and if 170 uses a better chip. |
