Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming MC200 vs Audiolab CDQ?

But will the MC200 outperform a Powerbook with USB out to something like a Rega DAC or other high performance DAC (AudioLab, etc). Carl, if this is what you are suggesting then that is good news indeed.

Yes thanks, I have been reading all I can about the MC200 and I recall one person saying that it outperformed a Chord DAC. I don't know if it was a direct side by side comparison of the two products however.

I tend to rely on reviews and of course there are none for the MC200 yet.

$4000 is more than I have spent on any one item other than a home or vehicle, so I am a bit reluctant.

And I definitely want to get away from spinning silver discs. I am already familiar with the ease at which one can select music when I use iTunes with the Remote app.

I really want to get away from iTunes mainly due to them not selling at least CD quality Apple Lossless music. If I have to source my music from other websites or by buying CD's then I may as well give up on iTunes.
