No and Yes.
A Sooloos system has four component types:
Store - Where your music files are stored.
Core - The computer that runs the system & streams PCM digital data to the Source.
Source - The endpoint of the system. The bit that usually contains a DAC and outputs an analogue and/or digital (SPDIF) signal.
Control - The human interface to the Core. eg iPad / iPhone / Control15 / ControlPC / ControlMAC.
It's a distributed system meaning these parts can reside in individual physical boxes. Alternatively more than one component can be housed in a single box.
The C15 is totally self contained.
The MC200 houses Store, Core and Source and is controlled by an iPad/iPhone.
The MD600 houses Store and (just recently) Core.
The MS600 houses a Source.
They can be mixed and matched. eg. MC200 now and add an MS600 later for even better SQ and a 2nd zone (because now you have 2 x sources).
In answer to your question about sound quality of the MC200. I don't have the same gear as you, so take this with a grain of salt, but I think it's better than my Cambridge Audio 840C CD player.
