SOtM – sMS-200ultra NEO & sPS-500 Bundle
SOtM – sMS-200ultra NEO USB Network Player
The sMS-200 Neo is a new version of the original sMS-200 and changed the musical nuances from the original sMS-200. It has deeper mid-range and better bass expressions compared to the original sMS-200. And the original sMS-200 presents more dynamics and bright sound compared to sMS-200 Neo. So with such changes, the overall balance of sMS-200Neo becomes richer and brings musical inspiration.
The original sMS-200 will be discontinued and sMS-200 Neo will be available soon.
The sMS-200ultra is an upgraded network player equipped with a dedicated media player board and a high performance audio clock, born from SOtMÂ’s years of experience.

SOtM – sPS-500 ( Audio power supply )
The resolution, textures, transparency and expression of sound is greatly affected by how and what power is supplied to your audio device. A power supply unit affects the quality of the entire audio system, and should never be considered as “just a power supply unit.”
The sPS-500 is an audio power supply designed specifically for high performance audio. It is built to eliminate noise generated by powered devices as well as to simply remove noise coming from an AC power source.
Using SOtMÂ’s unique technologies for noise cancellation and sound enhancement, and high quality audio components that are already proven in sound quality, you will hear superior sound improvement with the well-designed sPS-500.
The sPS-500 can easily cope with a wide range of AC power input – the output voltage can change to 7Vdc, 9Vdc, 12Vdc or 19Vdc depending on the power specification of your audio equipment – and the 50W output is flexible enough to be applied to various audio systems. It is also designed to provide more stable power through the input, output, overcurrent and overheat protection circuits.

Miroslav Tsankov –
Of all the upgrades and tweaks tried on my audio streaming system, connecting my Roon endpoint (SOtM sMS-200ultra NEO) to an external (OCXO) master clock turned out to be the most valuable and rewarding to my ears!
Originally my SOtM came without this option; in the country I am based (Norway) no one offered the upgrade, so after a quick research, Magna HiFi came to my attention as the nearest provider of the upgrade. Contacting them through their online enquiry form was definitely formal, yet brief and straightforward. Shortly after that, a personalized response popped up in my mailbox and the next day I sent my equipment to the provided address in the Netherlands. Couple of days later, I was briefed that the job has been done and that the equipment was on its way back to Norway…
Here, a little saga developed with a shipment carrier (UPS) completely incapable to process and deliver my package for quite a while – during which time it happened that I spoke multiple times with different people from UPS as well as with Jos from Magna Hifi. Jos really engaged himself with the case and although the delivery mess was solely caused by UPS, he eventually retrieved my equipment and re-sent it with another carrier – all on his own expense!
Now, after receiving back my upgraded audio streamer, listening to it for a couple of months, and summarizing the entire process, I can tell that the job has been done expertly and the service I received from Magna Hifi was delivered with lots of attention and personal involvement.
Cheers!
