Micromega M-100/150 field reports
I wanted to see if there were any thoughts on best ways to feed the Micromega M100.  I’m loving the Roon interface but from what I understand it feeds the M100 via Airplay which may not be giving the highest quality sound.  I also have Audirvana+ ...

I’m using iPhone X and iPad Pro.  Both work fine.  But I think once the settings are dialed in, all of which can be done on the unit or the remote, there isn’t much need for the Micromega app.  At least as I’m using Roon.  Not sure if I’ll pony up...

I haven’t had any bugs on the Mac side of the world.  A couple of 1-2 second dropouts where the WiFi wasn’t keeping up, but that’s all.  I like the internet radio on the app.  One other configuration for the record is I run Audience Au24 speaker c...

A couple other things, my Ethernet comes in from a Plume pod situated nearby (mesh Wi-Fi).  And the iOS app is in pretty good shape.  Also, so far I’m liking Roon for feeding it but Apple Airplay works pretty well too.  JRiver is just too terrible...

I received my M100 last week.  So far, so great.  It is replacing a VAC Avatar Super, so going from pure tubes to pretty much pure digital.  The amp and streamer are outstanding with really good imaging and presence.  I run a Thorens TD125 Mk II (...

Before I was using a Logitech Transporter from my Mac's iTunes.  Anyone tried the sound of Airplay yet?

Thanks both.  I've got good power from a Purepower 1050 and an Audience Powerchord I may use on it (if it will fit).  Got Isoacoustics.  I'll read up on Jriver.  What I had read previously was that it wasn't very user friendly.  My goal at the end...

Thanks.  I’ll try on Monday.  It might be good to get some general answers posted here as well for future users.  I can update as I learn.

Since this is turning into a Micromega M100/150 thread, I've got a couple questions as I'm contemplating setting up the M100 when it arrives.  Let me know if I should start a Micromega M-One thread to make life easier.For hooking up a subwoofer:  ...

Thanks for the info

Looking at the dimensions again, if the depth of the whole unit is about 14" I should be OK, but a corroboration would be nice.

@usery - I'm jumping on the M100 bandwagon.  One minor aspect I'm having no luck with is - will the feet fit on a 15" deep shelf?  Simple question but very important for me to know :)  Thanks for any help.

No, I’m actually looking for two channel (plus sub), but it seems that the receivers that can do network streaming plus phono plus room correction mostly end up in the AV world.

Any further comments on the M100 or other comments on alternate options.  I’m in the same situation and considering the Marantz nr1609 among others 
Best Used Integrated under $2000?.....$3000?
Particularly if you spin vinyl, the VAC Avatar Super has really good tube phonostage as well as a full preamp - not just a volume control. Nice full sound. Very transparent.
