The MAN301 is an incredibly flexible media server and network player that maintains the very highest audio quality at every stage of operation.

The MAN301 is an incredibly flexible media server and network player that maintains the very highest audio quality at every stage of operation. It brings together media server and optional network player functionality, supporting playback of user audio files as well as Internet streaming.

It is available as a server version, with no integrated playback functions, or including a DAC stage so that it is a playback device as well as a server. The DAC stage is available in a standard and advanced configuration, with the advanced version benefitting from the latest advances made for the MEDUS platform to deliver even higher performance.

Playback of music files stored on a hard-disk or via streaming from the Internet has arrived at the audiophile’s home. The MAN301 network player is a powerhouse in terms of features, versatility and sonic quality. Using the professionally maintained Gracenote database for metadata and cover art fetching, the MAN301 has a big edge over competing devices.

The MAN301 is an extremely versatile Music Archive manager and Network Player with an Apple® iPad remote control unit and e.g. a NAS type external storage medium. It is a system for music archiving, music library maintenance, music playback, CD ripping and playback, Internet radio streaming and more.

    A complete MAN301 system consists of:

  • The MAN301 Base Station.
  • An external NAS (Network Attached Storage) device, typically a hard disk or an array of hard disks. This allows for virtually unlimited storage space for music files.
  • An iPad device with the Weiss MAN app for remote control of the Base Station.
  • A means of accessing the Internet by the Base Station for fetching CD cover art, CD metadata or for streaming music.
