Yes, as near as I can tell the MSB will end up costing only a bit less than the Ayre when all is said and done.

Base 2-ch model is $4K
Add anywhere from $600 to $4.5K for a power supply
Add $2K for the future MCH option $2K

So, least cost MCH option is $6,600; recommended option more like $8K.

MCH is a 'future development' so buyer beware, and not clear if it is over HDMI or not.
