MBL C41 Network Player

The MBL C41 is the network streaming player in MBL's Cadenza Line (formerly Corona Line) - a state-of-the-art D/A converter with streaming capability, integrated volume control, and MBL's True Peak and Core Volume Control technologies. Handbuilt in Berlin, the C41 brings modern digital streaming into an MBL system without compromising the sonic character that defines the brand.

D/A conversion at resolutions up to 24-bit/192kHz PCM and DSD64. 3-stage jitter reduction with bit-true playback at the digital output. Streaming service integration for TIDAL, Qobuz, Spotify, and other modern platforms. Roon Ready. Integrated volume control with rotary control on the front panel means the C41 can drive a power amp directly (bypassing a preamplifier) for the simplest possible digital-source-to-speaker signal path.

VFD display shows title information from streaming sources. Softkey control of the streaming server on the front panel. MBL SmartLink networked integration. At $12,300 (current MBL pricing), the C41 is the natural streaming source for a Cadenza Line system built around C11 preamp + C15 monoblocks or C21 stereo amp, or as a modernization upgrade for existing MBL analog systems. Notably, MBL demoed the C41 with their flagship Reference Line system at Munich High-End 2025 - the C41 held its own alongside the 1621 A / 1611 F / 6010 D reference front end.
