Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer

I purchased the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll about 3 months ago, as the new PS DirectSteam

Mk-ll does not have the network bridge as the DS-1

The Mano-Ultra Mk-lll is simply an outstanding music streamer…it out performed the install network bridge in the DS-1 in transparency, resolution, and sound stage 

depth and width

In fact playing a track on the PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player Mk-Il, then switching to the same track on Qobuz through the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll is almost impossible to tell the difference..it’s that great

I am using I2S connection, but I installed a custom made 110 ohm digital cable made from Mogami AES-EBU Cable and difference is hard to hear…

If have the knowledge the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll  can be set up for YouTube as an app to be controlled by the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll same as Quboz or Tidal bypassing AIRPLAY…

The Guys at Mano HiFi are great for technical support…Rob especially help me understand how to setup the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll

THE MANO-ULTRA MK-lll is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Appreciate your input and listening impressions. How simple is it to set up and navigate Qobuz and Tidal? Word of mouth feedback regarding sound quality is very positive. I’m curious about the app implementation and ease of use.

I was thinking the same thing, I also have little interest in going back to using Roon even though I have a lifetime subscription, I was an early adapter but out grew it. 

In response to Charles…if have you basic computer knowledge the Mano-Ultra Mk-lll is like installing most software’s on a computer 

The manual is great the way it guides you during the setup…

The guys at Mano HIFI are great as my computer knowledge lesson over my retirement years, but will the support of Rob my understanding of the installation become much easier 

If fact I was able to setup the Mano-Ultra Mk- lll to allow YOUTUBE to work directly as an app…without AIRPLAY

Great Streamer
