Ready to Fall in Love with Your Music Again?
Your hi-fi system was built to deliver the ultimate sound experience, but are you truly hearing everything it has to offer? At MBS Audio, we specialise in optimising digital systems, elevating your existing setup to reveal the full depth, clarity, and emotional power of your music.
You’ve invested in the finest audio equipment. Now it’s time to hear what it can really do.
Maximise Your Digital Experience
Many digital systems have untapped potential, ready to be unlocked. Whether you're streaming high-resolution audio, playing digital files, or using a digital music server, we know how to fine-tune your setup for peak performance.
In most cases, if you've invested significantly in your system, there's no need for a new streamer, DAC, or amplifier to achieve 'better' sound—you simply need to optimise what you already have.

about me
Meet Byron Thompson Your Hi-Fi Optimisation Specialist
I launched MBS Audio in April 2023, after realising that my passion for high-fidelity audio had grown far beyond a hobby. It was time to take what had always been a personal obsession and turn it into a professional mission—to help others experience the same profound connection to music that I’ve enjoyed for years.
Music has been a constant in my life. I can’t imagine a day without it. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate enough to own a variety of audio systems, each one bringing a new level of enjoyment and immersion.
But, as rewarding as system building can be, it’s not without its challenges. It takes time, effort, and a lot of patience to get things just right.
Like many audio enthusiasts, I’ve had my share of frustration—those moments when a new piece of equipment, one I’d researched for hours, didn’t deliver the magic I expected.
It’s a common experience, but it’s also a reminder that building a great system isn’t just about adding the latest and greatest components. It’s about understanding how everything works together to create an engaging and emotionally powerful listening experience.
It’s well-known that music can have a profound impact on our well-being. Countless times, I’ve found that the stress of the day fades away as soon as I sit down and listen to my system, with the music working its magic. That’s why I believe a well-optimised audio system is more than just a luxury—it’s an investment in quality of life.
I started MBS Audio because music is essential to me because it nourishes my Mind, Body, and Soul.
The true joy of this hobby lies in those moments when the music becomes almost tangible, when the sound is so lifelike it feels like you’re in the room with the performers. That’s the experience I aim to deliver through MBS Audio.
You're one click away from a whole new immersive experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
In the unlikely event that you are not satisfied with the consultation and cannot hear any perceived improvement, the fee is not refundable.
This is highly unlikely as I am extremely careful during my consultations. However, I am fully insured to cover any accidental damage that might occur during consultations. My policy includes public and products liability coverage for high-end audio equipment, ensuring your valuable setup is protected throughout the consultation. This insurance gives both of us peace of mind, allowing us to focus entirely on optimising your listening experience without worry.
The potential for improvement depends on the current level of your system's setup. Customers with various optimisation elements in place have discovered that my comprehensive PAVING framework can still make a crucial difference. If you're uncertain, it's best to ring me before arranging a consultation. Should I believe I can't enhance your current setup, I'll inform you.
I firmly stand behind the quality of my service and products. While I don't offer a blanket guarantee due to the subjective nature of audio appreciation, I do provide comprehensive follow-up support. After any consultation or installation, I remain available to address any questions or concerns you may have about your optimised system. I am committed to ensuring your long-term satisfaction and can schedule follow-up visits if needed to fine-tune your setup. My goal is to build a lasting relationship with you , supporting you as your audio journey evolves.
I do not have any hidden costs beyond the initial consultation. As I've mentioned, once you place an order, all future consultations are provided free of charge for you as an existing customer. I value your custom and will provide ongoing support without additional fees.
I ask for 24 hours' notice to ensure I can meet my obligations. For example, if you book a consultation on Monday, the earliest I can see you is Wednesday morning.
