The Magnum Dynalab MD 809T is a full-size internet radio tuner and streamer with tube-based analog output, FM/DAB/DAB+ reception, USB/network music playback, and a built-in Burr-Brown 24/192 up-converting balanced DAC. Magnum Dynalab describes the 809 line as sharing the same TRACC audio board and power supply as the MD109 platform, with internet radio, FM, and my music playback through network or USB, plus remote control and a color touch screen. Magnum Dynalab’s certified-used listing shows the MD 809 Triode at a purchase price of USD 5750.00, and the company’s internet radio tuner page states the 809 series is discontinued and being replaced by the MDS-800 series, so the MD 809T is no longer current production.
