Autonomic upgrades the popular cloud-enabled Mirage MMS-5 media server with the MMS-5A-- now with a re-designed chassis, a new UI and audiophile-grade playback.
The MMS-5A supports 24-bit/192kHz digital USB audio output, while Autonomic claims the upgraded "sexy" chassis is ultra-quiet through the removal of the internal fan. The new UI makes navigation through online media sources (Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, Last.fm, Spotify and TuneIn) easier.
Users can also add content from iDevices via AirPlay support.
Mirage media servers allow users to sync music from local sources (Mac, PC or NAS) with other MMS units by uploading media to the cloud-- providing remote library access from other locations. Internal storage comes through 1TB HDD.
The system supports x6 independent audio streams with digital outputs (including USB) and x4 stereo pairs of analog RCA outputs for distribution to any number of zones. It is compatible with standard A/V racks (1RU) and includes rack ears, optional feet and defeatable front panel blue light.
