ENHANCED FEATURES
NOTE:
The MS-1 does not inherently support playlists. Therefore, the “Playlists Folder”
can be left empty, or pointed towards another music library that has saved
playlists within it.
7. Go back to the “Status” Tab. You may want to select the “Rescan” button each time
you make a change to your library. Click “OK” to exit.
STREAMING TO MULTIPLE ZONES
You may set up multiple and different streaming devices in multiple rooms. Just connect the
device(s) as listed above in each room or zone. Once connected, you can stream MS-1 content to
each of the devices simultaneously and independently. That means someone can listen to Bach in
one room while another listens to Beethoven in a different zone. The MS-1 has been tested to
handle a minimum of four independent zones. However, this is somewhat network dependent. It is
quite possible if you have a robust network that you could connect even more! Please keep in
mind that when you stream content from the MS-1 to a device, it does NOT affect the MS-1’s USB
output. This means that in addition to streaming to multiple locations and devices that you can still
independently control the MS-1 with the Cary Remote App for iPhone, or the web interface, for
playback over its USB output. The USB output is of the highest fidelity and it is recommended the
MS-1 be placed next to a USB capable DAC (Digital to Analog Converter), such as our Xciter DAC
which in turn is connected to a hi-fidelity system for the highest quality playback.
