WELCOME
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Thank you for purchasing the latest design in a long line of outstanding digital source
equipment from Cary Audio Design. By choosing a hard drive-based music server, you now
belong to an elite group of audiophiles who have transitioned from a single play disc-based
system to a system that provides easy access to all of your music in one central location. If
you are like many of us at Cary, the easy and convenient operation of the MS-1 will entice
you to listen to your music collection more often, and you’ll soon be rediscovering long-
forgotten favorites.
The MS-1 is a new breed of audio component designed to use an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad
as its remote control device. With an Internet connection and wireless router, the MS-1 is
controlled almost entirely by the remote control device. Enjoy the simplicity of fingertip
commands along with the vivid color displays of album cover art.
To begin your musical experience, just insert a CD, and the MS-1 will copy the disc to the
one-terabyte hard drive, which is capable of storing roughly 2,800 CDs in FLAC format; the
disc ejects automatically when the transfer is complete. The MS-1 then searches Internet
archives for the song list, artist information, and album art. Once the information is added to
the music library, your music becomes searchable using your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad as
a remote control device. An extremely efficient and fast internal operating system quickly
locates and plays your music at the highest level of quality over a USB output.
Downloading the custom Cary Audio Design MS-1 application available free from the
iTunes App Store gives you complete wireless control of the MS-1 and its database. Simply
launch the Cary Audio Design application, and you can begin exploring your entire music
library with the swipe of a finger. With a few simple screen touches, you can search you
entire music collection by artist, album, song or genre. Never before has your music library
been this easy to enjoy. SHOUTcast™ Radio is also included as part of the MS-1, enabling
you to stream thousands of Internet radio stations.
The MS-1 is the modern day equivalent of a high-end audio transport and is designed to be
paired with a USB D/A converter. To achieve the best in high-end sound, we suggest that the
MS-1 be paired with the Xciter Series USB D/A converter. This combination of Cary
products provides you with a system whose ease of use and sound quality is difficult to match
at any price.
Congratulations on your fine choice, the Cary Audio Design MS-1. We are confident the MS-
1 will bring you many years of musical satisfaction, and we sincerely welcome you to the
Cary family.
