This review is from: Yamaha MCX-1000 MusicCAST Digital Audio Server (Electronics)
I purchased the MCX 1000 Server and 2 Clients over a year ago. They have far exceeded my expectations. When I inquired about upgrading the hard disk, the cost was absurdly high. I checked with Yamaha and with Seagate (who make the drives for the Server) and then purchased a 300GB Seagate Barracuda ATA Drive. I now have over 350 classical CDs recorded in full PCM (That is how I play them over my Hi-Fi equipment and on one client). I have upgraded each of the clients by connecting to small amplifiers and bookshelf speakers. The fidelity is consistently high and bright in eith PCM or Mp3 modes. When combined with a Yamaha RX600 Receiver and speakers and a Yamaha Subwoofer, they deliver a highly respectable performance. When played through my higher-end A/V system, the sound is as good as any CD played on a higher end CD player. Bravo. Reservations: As others have mentioned, the Gracenote CDDB is remarkably inconsistent (especially with classical recording). The PS2 connection allows editing with a keyboard and with the correct connection you can edit on a PC.
Phase II: Just purchased a 750GB Hard Drive and will have Yamaha upgrade the MCX-1000. It currently contains 450 CDs in full PCM. I hope to increase this substantially. I now have it networked to three additional systems in my home. PCM by wireless on my main Hi-Fi (music only) system is excellent, with very litlle loss of signal or dynamic range. This remains a marvelous product.
