Audiophile Quality Sound

Supports reference quality, High Resolution Audio 
(HRA) 24-bit/192kHz content, perfectly rendered 
through analog, coaxial digital and USB outputs, 
in addition to eAudioCast

 network streams. 

Flexible Output Options

The MMS-5e supports four analog outputs 
through its on board HRA 24-bit/192kHz DAC, 
plus mirrored High Resolution PCM coax digital 
outputs and one output mirrored to both HDMI 
and USB (to DAC) formats.

eAudioCast

Our innovative, proprietary eAudioCast 
technology enables audio-over-Ethernet to 
compatible eSeries devices. The MMS-5e will 
support five eAudioCast streams, including all 
four physical streams mirrored to eAudioCast, as 
well as a fifth eAudioCast-only stream available 
when paired with MMS eSeries amplifiers.

All Solid State

All eSeries products are completely solid state and 
use passive cooling systems. All moving parts have 
been eliminated from the entire Autonomic lineup, 
which translates to years of trouble free and silent 
performance, lower power consumption, and 
quick responsiveness.
