M6 Encore 225 - Overview

The Encore 225 is the ultimate in complete audio system solutions and allows you to keep all your music in one place. The Encore 225 has a built in CD ripper so that you can store your music locally on its built in 1TB hard drive (Upgradable). The Network capability means that it can directly stream on demand services such as TIDAL. It accepts almost any conceivable analogue or digital audio source. It is also compatible with many network speakers, such as Sonos. There is a very clear, large, high resolution full colour display so you can see what’s going on.
