Powered by the proprietary Linux-based MA Player OS, it blends high-end aesthetics with superior sound quality. Featuring a flagship AKM VELVETSOUND™ DAC and Swedish LUNDAHL precision transformers, it delivers a warm, musical, and fatigue-free listening experience with a dynamic range of up to 125dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePrecision Engineering \u0026amp; Robust Power\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eTo ensure digital accuracy, the MS-1c employs a dual femtosecond clock architecture and a high-speed FPGA to virtually eliminate jitter and phase noise. This performance is supported by a sophisticated power design that uses separate supplies for digital and analog circuits. A dedicated linear power supply for the analog stage minimizes interference, providing a clean, stable foundation for high-resolution audio reconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eVersatile Connectivity \u0026amp; Storage\u003c\/b\u003e The device offers extensive output flexibility, including XLR and RCA analog ports with selectable levels, as well as USB, IIS-LVDS, and S\/PDIF digital outputs. Users can easily expand their music library via an internal NVMe SSD slot or by connecting an external USB CD drive for playback and high-quality ripping. With Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, the MS-1c can also function as a NAS, serving music to other devices across a home network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntelligent Control \u0026amp; Global Streaming\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eControlled via the intuitive MA Remote App, the MS-1c integrates vast streaming resources including Apple Music, TIDAL, Qobuz, and Roon Ready.
