Macintosh MS500

Mcintosh MS500 music streamer - high end DAC and exceptional sound quality

The sophisticated yet easy-to-use MS500 Music Streamer effortlessly integrates both your Internet-based streaming music and locally stored digital music files into one comprehensive unit. It allows you to enjoy your digital library with McIntosh's legendary audio standards - including uncompressed, lossless files with up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution.

With all its built-in storage and external connectivity, the MS500 can easily act as a central hub for all your digital music. The high-speed network port connects you to leading streaming services1 such as Deezer, Pandora®, Rhapsody®, Spotify®, TIDAL and TuneIn (services subject to change). Interfaces to these services are built into the MS500 – making all your streaming music available at your fingertips. Internet radio stations can also be added as presets. Three USB ports allow external mass storage or flash drives to be connected.

"The MS500 is a great product for the music lover who doesn't obsess over technical details and just wants to listen to their music in high quality... It will reproduce one's favorite music from less than perfect sources better than most have heard before." - Computer Audiophile

The MS500 runs ultra-quiet thanks to two key features. First, local music and the operating system are stored on a 500GB solid state drive (SSD) with no moving parts that create noise; secondly, a fanless processor combined with improved ventilation means that noisy cooling fans are not necessary. The combination of these two elements results in no noise interfering with your music experience.
