McIntosh MS500 Music Streamer

The McIntosh MS500 is a dedicated music streamer that seamlessly controls internet-based streaming music AND locally-stored digital music via an internal solid-state drive. For listeners who want a McIntosh streaming component that can also serve as a self-contained music library server without requiring a separate NAS or computer-based Roon library, the MS500 is the McIntosh answer.

Streaming service support includes Pandora, Rhapsody, SiriusXM, Spotify, TIDAL, and TuneIn. Internal solid-state drive holds the local music library for local playback — particularly useful for listeners with extensive collections of high-resolution files (FLAC, WAV, DSD) that they prefer to keep on-device rather than streaming from a remote NAS.

The MS500 complements the DS200 (McIntosh's newer flagship streaming DAC without internal storage) in McIntosh's streaming lineup. Choose the DS200 for pure streaming with a proven modern control experience across all major services; choose the MS500 for local library storage in addition to streaming. Pairs with any McIntosh preamp or integrated amp with a line-level input. Available at LMC — walk in during business hours or book ahead.
