Magnum Dynalab MD801

got an 801T last yr when they came out- it's connected thru my MD 108T tuner w DAC- i listen to it most of time- nice sound & internet diversity is super that i didn't have before- i don't have CD, turntable only-

hicham- sorry i have an MD 801 internet tuner (no T)- It plays thru my MD 108T tuner (which has the new DAC) with a digital cable (Synapse Platium series by Belkin)from 801 into the 108T. the 108T has normal RCA MIT interconnects into my older spectral pre amp- I run the 801 from my old wireless G linksys router which is 2 rooms away- no issue- (also tried direct cat 6 cable from router but no sound difference)
i already got the 108T with newer DAC last yr by trading in my old etude with MD at very fair price- when i got the 108T the internet tuners were being designed by MD- MD folks advised me to just get the 801 when they came out as i'd be playing it thru the 108T which already had all the TRACC audio stage and dual power supply that the 809T has. They said it would be less costly and offer same digital performance- They also said this way i'd have superior FM over the air with my 108T than 809t-(though i rarely listen to straight FM anymore).
The 809T has much bigger touch screen than the rest of the MD tuners and other upgrades-

i listened to swiss jazz exclusively over christmas/new years when i first got the 801. -its fabulous- I've been listening almost exclusively to radio paradise.com from Calif lately-- if you've not heard it check it out- such varied music- you can set it up on frontier to get 128k AAC signal which sounds great

I also use Isedora software on my iMAC to play my wife's i tune library on the 801- doesn't sound as great as some of the internet stations though- i don't have CD player- turntable only.

Hgeifman- great write up and thorough explanations

Hicham- check out the magnum dynalab web page- it has great write ups on the new internet tuners. you can also read info for the 109T, 108T and other tuners which also go into nice detail about their audio stage and power supply differences between the various models.
i just got response from MG -asked if there was any quality or sonic reason to trade in my 108T with DAC & 801 for the new 809T- they said other than having everything in one box and the larger touchscreen on the 809t- there is no benefit to change-
MG also said they were trying to get the 809 working on the larger screen
