MPS-8 DREAM PLAYER The MPS-8 incorporates the same drive system and digital front end as the MPT-8 Dream Transport. But it also has an internal high quality DAC built in that borrows its technology from the MPD-8 Dream DAC. It is, therefore, a more compact version of the MPD-8 / MPT-8 pair in a single chassis.
Like its MPT-8 sibling it can also be expanded with the Stream-X option:
- Stream-X streamer provides direct connection to streaming services such as Tidal, Qobuz, Deezer and vTuner that can be controlled via an app on a tablet. Furthermore, it also allows to play files from connected USB storage or network storage (NAS) and provides “roon-ready” integration into Roon audio networks with PCM support up to 192kHz and single rate DSD. It functions as DLNA and UPnP renderer as well.
The MPS-8 is powered by two of the same high quality linear power supplies as used in the MPD-8 DAC whereby one of them is used for all digital circuits while the other one powers the analog section.
Digital inputs:
- USB (PCM up to 384kHz, DSD up to 11.2MHz)
- AES (PCM up to 192kHz, DSD via DoP)
- Coax (PCM up to 192kHz, DSD via DoP)
- TosLink (PCM up to 96kHz)
- PLINK optical (PCM up to 384kHz, DSD up to 11.2MHz)
Digital outputs:
- PLINK optical AES (PCM up to 192kHz, DSD via DoP)
Internal options:
- Stream-X streamer
