Jan 2008 issue has a major test of the MS750, McIntosh's 750-GB standalone music server, which lists for $6000.
One thing the reviewer noted, which is an ongoing problem with all such devices that feature automatic metadata lookup, was that the Gracenote database almost never provided accurate information. He had to manually go back and correct stuff. Ultimately they liked the unit but found that an outboard DAC ($2500 Bel Canto) was needed to get the best sound quality. The review concluded that "a little bit of computer savvy, a $300 Slim Devices Squeezebox, and that same DAC will get you to the same sonic place for significantly less." -- Pale Blue Ego ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pale Blue Ego's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=110 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41214 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
