Hello everyone!
First post here. I am interested in a (audio) media streamer. I determined the features I woukd like to be the following, -well integrated streaming apps (spotify, tidal and pandora) -crestron (2 way) and ipad/iphone control support -TV out for OSD -multisource/multizone -visually/physically pleasing box (component size prefered) McIntosh MB100 and Mirage/Autonomic MMS-5A both satisfy all above. If there is another option, please let me know I love the McIntosh box and it has better analog section but it has only 2 zones. I need a Usb dac for the second zone. Its OS is on a ssd. Mms is cheaper, it is essentially the same as mb100 without the good analog section but it has 4 analog + 1 digital + 1 usb zones. Its OS is on an hdd. This can be replaced with a 1tb ssd perhaps. I am having hard time deciding. I really would like 4 zones but Mb100 is really nice looking. I looked at the internal pictures of both. It looks like mms has 4 analog and 1 digital zone on a separate board, this board is replaced on the mb100 with a single zone analog section. Is there any other differences ? Did anyone entertaine the idea of adding this board to the mb100? |
