JBL MP350 Classic
The JBL MP350 Classic is a digital media player and streamer. It's styled after the JBL SA600 amplifier of the 1960s, with retro looks and walnut veneer side panels meant to pair with classic and retro hi-fi systems, including JBL's own Classic and Studio Monitor speakers in walnut. The retro part stops at the exterior. Inside, it's a modern network player.
It streams wirelessly via Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Tidal Connect, and it is Roon Ready with MQA support. Audio goes out through analog outputs via a high-resolution reference DAC. Digital outputs (optical and coaxial) are also there. StereoNET (September 2021) noted that the onboard DAC supports file formats up to 24-bit/192kHz resolution, and observed that JBL does not publicly specify the internal circuitry, DAC, or streaming platform details. Supported formats include MP3, MP4, OGG, WMA, FLAC, WAV (LPCM), MQA, ALAC, AIFF, and DSD (128). Connectivity is via Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet, with a USB I/O as well.
The record is thin on some fronts. No production years, original US price, or weight are documented. UK listings show £899 RRP, though at least one review cites £650, so treat either figure as approximate. Dimensions are listed as 1.9" H x 17.7" W x 11.1" D (48mm x 449mm x 282mm). One Crutchfield customer review (May 2025) called it "a great streamer," and described the improvement in audio quality over streaming via an iPad's internal DAC as a "quantum leap" with lossless audio enabled.
