A CD drive is also supplied, of course, which can read MP3 and WMA files in addition to classic audio CDs. The integrated tuner handles both normal FM signals and the future DAB+ standard, with 40 station presets for each mode being quite sufficient even for diverse tastes in music. It goes without saying that the MC 200 also features Bluetooth with aptX technology, meaning that music from your smartphone, tablet or PC can also be reproduced with top-quality playback without any difficulty and, above all, in wireless mode. 

As usual, source diversity is complemented by analogue and digital inputs, with the latter available as both optical and coaxial, enabling music to be played with the highest possible resolution. A TV can also be connected of course to raise the television sound to a new audio level.

The finish is exceptionally good: The solid full-metal housing and the equally solid, brushed aluminium front panel do complete justice to the high-quality electronics inside. The knobs and controls are also made of aluminium, ensuring that the feel corresponds to the acoustic qualities. All of this adds up to a weight of almost 6 kg.

The MC 200 is exceptionally easy to operate. This is helped by the tidy front panel as well as the clearly laid-out remote control. All network functions can be controlled via the MAGNAT STREAMING APP, which is available for iOS and Android. With this, you can enjoy music via Spotify, Internet radio or conveniently play back music files from your home network, e.g. on a computer or network hard drive (NAS).
