Hi Huw,

If I could be so bold as to spend some of your money.
First of all, a few statements that I'm sure most here will agree with from their own Trials and Listening Sessions

a) That the MS600 will sound MUCH better than the C15 feeding your current D7k system a C15 in a bespoke Windows PC and all the Mechanical and RFI / EMI Noise to go with it and as a result is quite compromised on Audio replay.

b) Even an MS200 will significantly outperform your C15 in feeding the above D7k System.

c) I would strongly recommend that you at least try the MS600 in your main Listening Room as the "Source" or Endpoint the C15 will now become just your User Interface to the system.

d) Then buy a �500 MS200 for use in your 2nd room as above most people here would agree that an MS200 will come quite close to an MS600 on its Digital Out and that rationale would certainly apply in the Secondary Listening room that you are already describing as being somewhat "compromised" by furnishings and walls etc.

Using the MS600 in your main room should provide such a noticeable uplift in performance that buying the MS200 for the 2nd room becomes much more palatable

SpeakerLink to Legacy Cable convertors can be had for �25 each and should not be an obstacle to at least TRYING the MS600 in your main room
