With kind thanks to Rob @ RSAV I've just collected my MS200's  Will report back once installed this evening, and how they compare to the MS600 (digital) and a Sonos ZP80. Cheers Duncan

Did your dealer know your option (per your post) re. 600 was a used unit, when he quoted you?

Mine's arrived.
I love this unit. It's small, much higher WAG factor than the MC200Haven't tried analogue out yet, need a new lead for that.

I've just set my MS200 up, serving my kitchen F80. Simple set up, and it sounds fine, using optical digital out.
The best feature for me is that when linking zones, the audio is perfectly in synch (I used to use an iMac to feed the F80 - sounded perfectly good (esp. using digital out from iMac) - but was never quite in synch with other zones which made zone linking next to useless).
RSAV supplied the unit, quick and efficient as ever.

I received my MS200 today. It was smaller than I expected. I have only tested the analog output from MS200. I am very impressed of the sound quality (much better than I have expected for this price). I have compared the analog output against the Audioquest Dragonfly and can state that the MS200 sounds better.
I will test the MS200/MS600 during the next days together with AD88, DSP 3200 and DSP7200.
