About the MDP-500 G6

The Myryad MDP-500 G6 is an advanced digital preamplifier-processor designed for high-quality home cinema and audio systems. It supports decoding of multiple surround sound formats including Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS-ES Matrix and Discrete, DTS Neo:6, and a proprietary Surround 6.1 mode. It features nine pairs of analog stereo inputs, six digital inputs (four coaxial, two optical), and a unique 7.1-channel analog input that bypasses digital processing for pure analog signal paths, ideal for audiophile sources like SACD and DVD-Audio. The unit includes comprehensive bass management, Dolby Pro Logic I and II, and multiple music modes to enhance stereo signals. Video inputs and outputs include composite and S-Video with an option for S-Video output without on-screen display for highest quality. The MDP-500 G6 is equipped with a Crystal Semiconductor CS4226 A/D-D/A chip providing 20-bit/48kHz conversion, with plans for upgrades to 24-bit/96kHz. It uses Texas Instruments dual bi-FET op-amps with digitally controlled step attenuators for fully analog volume control and output stages. The unit comes with a universal learning remote control and supports RS-232 control and future software upgrades. Dimensions are 17" W x 3.7" H x 13.3" D, weighing 13.2 lbs. Originally
