"The MS600 is not a PC" was the answer that we were given at Bristol HH2.5.

If true then it did make sense for why the MS600 might be better than the C15, Ensemble (although this has other reasons to be inferior as noted by Ronnie) and MC200. The MC600 has no HDD, PC motherboard (?) etc and is probably a much quieter environment.

However, I don't think it would be on par with either ID40 solution because it is still a box feeding another box by external wires. Exactly how much difference that makes is anyone's guess.

Several users have reported very good analogue outputs from the MS600.
