The End Of M1 Series?

[elhefe]

MF have taken down the M1 series from their website. I guess it is now replaced by the MX series.

I was a bit disappointed in the past few months as I realized that the M1 CLiC iOS controller app is no longer available on iTunes. When asked, MF just replied that it is no longer cost effective to continue the support for the app.

MF really needs to think about technology continuity.

MF really needs to think about technology continuity.

The problem with things like the CliC is companies are either reliant on third parties (in MF case the Stream Unlimited platform) or they have to invest heavily (Auralic say they invested over a million dollars in the Lightning DS platform) with chance of no return on their investment. For companies without deep pockets USB connection to computers such as MacMinis appear to be a more reliable option.

As for the MX range, I hope at some point MF might produce a little pre-amp to couple with the MX DAC.
