Notes: FLAG HI-FI, NOT MASTERING TOOL: listed by weiss.ch under 'High-End Hi-Fi'; a consumer music-server/CD-ripper/preamp with an optional DAC module, controlled via a dedicated iPad app — not pro mastering gear, included only because task scope explicitly named MAN301. A newer 'MAN301R' Roon-ready variant is also current on weiss.ch but not separately catalogued here. Formats supported: WAV, AIFF, ALAC, AAC, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, WMA, Wavepack, DSF, DSDIFF. Third-party (Stereophile-sourced) figures cited $9,083 (no DAC) / $12,262 (with DAC) as past US pricing, but these are not confirmed current authorized-dealer MSRP and the product may be legacy/phased out in favor of MAN301R, so price_usd left blank per no-guess rule.
