Hi again Al,

I have played the MC200 into the 565 analog inputs and it does sound good although I prefer the digital into 518 route.
This could be as much to do the the ADC DAC conversion in my 565 and in no way be anything to do with the MC200.

This was not an over criticle test just my impression. I will stick to digital on my system but a good analog system wil likely be great as Meridian conversion wil be good and you wouldn't have the extra ADC/DAC to consider, the weak point here I think.

I hope it helps but my system can't give you the definitive answer you need.
You must try one out for yourself as it is so easy to get into a collection.

Cheers Chris smile
