I said essentially as a matter of disclaimer that it was not exactly. What I meant by that is that like an AC200 it can be used as a central controller in a small system and integrates a number of inputs. To give some examples of how it can be used, here are some suggestions:


1. Six of these along with a Sooloos enabled QNAP give you the same functionality of the MC600 plus MQA for about $7000.00. The MC600 was $12000.00 MSRP.

2. It can be used like an MS200 endpoint and includes MQA. In this manner it can be used with analog or digital speakers.

3. Fixed to the back of a TV with a pair of DSP speakerlink speakers, or analog speakers with an amplifier, it can make a nice neat room system controllable via IR or IP.

4. 4 of these with the 258 provides a very capable multiroom system with Sooloos, MQA, other input switching all controlled via an iPad or other control system.

I am sure there are many other ways in which this little box will be used.

It also addresses many of the things people have been asking for:

1. An inexpensive MQA enabled endpoint.

2. An inexpensive way to integrate MQA into analog systems.

3. Custom installation applications

4. An inexpensive way to integrate other sources into a pair of speakerlink DSP speakers instead of trying to hack your way in.

All of this for a grand is a pretty good deal.
