Any experience with Magna Mano Ultra MkIII streamer


Hi,

Has someone heard the Magna Mano Ultra MkIII? Any feedbacks on how it sounds and compared to any other streamer you may have used?

I will primarily use it for Roon (Qobuz) and Spotify. And if software allows for HQPlayer NAA.

The other streamer I am considering is Holo Red streamer.

I have had the Denafrips Venus Dac for a few months and now that it’s burned and  sounds great it’s time to get a streamer, I have been looking at the Mano Ultra, do you guys still think it’s a great streamer and have you been using Is2 …

I would love to hear more about the Mano Ultra mkIII from those who have used it or compared it to the HoloAudio Red. 

Looks interesting and the reviews are positive. I personally have no use for just a streamer. 

I'm also curious about this network streamer. I'm looking for something I can run Squeezebox LMS on. I wonder if it's an upgrade from Raspberry pi with Allo digione signature card.?

I’m looking for something I can run Squeezebox LMS on.

Both the Holo Audio Red Streamer and the SOtM SMS200 Ultra Neo (and the lessor model SMS200) have LMS support built in.

The Red is a $850 streamer, the SMS200 Ultra Neo is $1,200.

The SMS streamers only output USB, the Red has a full compliment of outputs USB, BNC, AES-EBU, Toslink and I2S.

Neither of these have an associated music App and would have to be used with an outboard front end like ROON, etc.
