Default I left the C2600 and MC452 on all night...
......And when I woke up I found this little guy!
Welcoming the new addition to the family, it's little but I read it packs some mighty sound!

Off to install it

Congrats!

I just traded mine in. My wife I just purchased a new home and I couldn't get it "linked up." Instead of fighting it, I traded it in. When I could get it to work, it was a great sounding unit. Will be interesting to hear your impressions.

So that’s how they make an MB50....leave a C2600 and an MC452 in a room all alone...in the dark.

Congrats! Looking forward to your impressions.

I hope your impressions of the MB50 are as good as mine. You're really putting a killer system together.

old post revival! I completely feel you on the "all night" issue. I love vinyl and have learned to stop when I'm too tired or drunk and switch to digital. I just picked up an MB50 on ebay for a grand - great deal I think. should be here this week.

Nice unit! Does anyone know how it handles DSD (dsf)? Hopefully it converts to PCM as opposed to rejecting it.
