The A1000 was the first of a long line of Super Integrated Amplifiers from Musical Fidelity. Its children: the NuVista M3, Tri Vista 300, kW500, M6\/500i, NuVista 800 and NuVista 600 all were equally enthusiastically welcomed to the audiophile world. The M8xi is the latest and the best of the breed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi is a separate preamp with two monobloc power amps sharing a common chassis. Each has its own heat sink and separate transformer. Genuinely dual mono. The preamp has its own separate power supply and is mounted close to the input sockets. Consequently, PCB tracks are very short. This elegant idea ensures that both channels' signals are ultra-low impedance the instant they get into the amplifier. This is a significant detail. Each channel has twelve big bipolar transistors - 200 amps peak to peak is easily available. The metalwork is high quality. The front panel is a custom made fine line extrusion of milspec aluminum. The custom made heat sinks have outstanding dissipation characteristics and finish. The M8xi construction has a feeling of solidity and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Circuitry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the last 5 years our power amp circuitry has reached a high state of development. In our never-ending quest for improving performance and customer value we have been looking for ways to improve our designs. One of the prime directives was to keep the low feedback configuration unchanged .. continue with low feedback! The problem was how to improve efficiency and performance without affecting the sound quality. If I say so myself, I think we have come up with a brilliant solution. Our new M8xi power amp design gives higher power, lower distortion, and better sound quality. Incredible but true. The output stage efficiency has been increased thus yielding about 10% more power for similar power supply voltage. More importantly, the whole driver stage is pure Class A. We believe that this innovative approach has a substantial effect on the sound quality. The sound stage appears wider whilst the micro and macro dynamics have more impact. This effect is particularly noticeable on well-recorded piano. I am sure you all know the piano is a percussive instrument but in truth, this is rarely audible on most Hi-Fi systems. Using an M8xi a piano‘s percussive nature becomes instantly obvious and jumps out of the loudspeaker. lt is a surprising and satisfying improvement to the sound quality. Vocals have more subtly, detail and presence. Large scale music has depth, width, and incredibly dynamic presentation. All in all the M8xi is a consummate all-rounder. Mostly it sounds like a small Class A amplifier with huge power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe DAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi also features a 5 input DAC. DACs are increasingly common in integrated amplifier designs to add convenience when connecting a variety of digital sources, so the decision was taken to build-in a DAC that would perform to a high standard, independently of the amplifier. For added integrity, the DAC features its own power supply. Based around the Texas Instruments PCM5242 TI low-distortion and low-noise DAC chip, which is also employed in many other premium products in the hi-fi industry as well as in previous Musical Fidelity products, the M8xi has 2 x coaxial (S\/PDIF), 2 x optical (S\/PDIF) and 1 x asynchronous USB Type-B inputs. The coaxial and the USB inputs are capable of supporting hi-res audio streams up-to 24-bit \/ 192kHz, and the optical input is capable of supporting up-to 24-bit \/ 96kHz. For maximal performance, all data streams are up-sampled and re-clocked by an internal converter to reduce jitter and remove unwanted artifacts in the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi delivers 550 + 550wpc into 8 ohms. It is extremely stable and very linear. The distortion is low too; lower than 0.005% in the audible frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The M8xi has remarkable linearity and consistency. lt is unconditionally stable and will drive any loudspeaker in existence easily with ample power reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Approach to Technical Measurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our view an amplifier should be completely neutral. lt is ‚a straight wire with gain‘. Easy to say but hard and complex to do. We want to stress that we do not believe that the technical performance is an end in itself. lt is a method of validating the total amplifier system concept. The aim of our circuit\/PCB designs is to have low feedback and achieve complete neutrality, transparency, and great technical performance. The proof that we are on the right track is the technical performance. We think that technical performance cannot be summed up by the distortion at 1 kHz. Our view is that an amplifier has to be able to satisfy a wide range of technical requirements before it can be neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLinearity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost all loudspeakers have complex impedance and loading curves. An amplifier must be able to maintain its voltage virtually, regardless of loading. If an amplifier cannot maintain its voltage across the spectrum, then the ultimate frequency response and distortion will be nonlinear. This is not neutrality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDistortion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overwhelming majority of amplifier manufacturers only talk about distortion at 1 kHz. We believe that this is only a fraction of the story. From our perspective, an amplifier must have very low distortion from 20 Hz- 20 kHz and beyond. We believe that an amplifier‘s high-frequency performance proves the total performance of the circuit and PCB layout. The M8xi distortion hardly changes from 10 kHz to 50 kHz. An outstanding achievement and validation of the circuit design and PCB layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNoise Ratio\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmplifiers should be quiet. If they are not, low-level detail is irretrievably lost. Also, the dynamic range is seriously compromised. Dynamic range is not just how much power an amplifier will produce, it is also how quiet it can be. Dynamic range is the total from the quietest to the loudest. The M8xi excels in this respect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrecision Volume Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi has a precision volume control. This ensures perfect tracking right down to a very low level. This ensures perfect tracking right down to very low levels which is unattainable with standard potentiometers. This outstanding precision is achieved by laser-trimmed substrate resistors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Quality\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M8xi is effortless, fluid, and dynamic. lt doesn‘t sound ‚loud‘. lt just sounds right.

A truly fully balanced preamplifier like the M8s Pre maintains a balanced differential signal throughout every gain stage from input to output, providing common-mode noise rejection at every point in the circuit — not just at the connectors. This results in measurably lower noise and distortion on the balanced output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Musical Fidelity M8s Pre include a phono stage for a turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The M8s Pre includes a built-in MM\/MC phono stage with accurate RIAA equalisation, wide overload margin, and very low noise. It supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges, making it a complete analogue source hub without requiring an external phono preamplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the M8s Pre drive any power amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The M8s Pre is designed with ultra-low output impedance and high current output capability, specifically engineered to drive any power amplifier through any length of interconnect cable — balanced or single-ended. High input overload margins also mean the M8s Pre operates stress-free with virtually any source component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is home theatre bypass and how does it work on the M8s Pre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHome theatre bypass allows a designated input to pass the signal directly to the output at unity gain, bypassing the M8s Pre's volume control. This lets an AV receiver or processor control the volume for front channels while the M8s Pre handles stereo listening duties. The M8s Pre offers this on one balanced and one single-ended input — an unusually flexible implementation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat power amplifier is recommended with the Musical Fidelity M8s Pre?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusical Fidelity's natural pairing is the M8s-700m monobloc amplifiers — 700W monoblocks that share the M8s Pre's engineering philosophy of extreme power supply overspecification and vanishingly low noise.

We set out to make a phono stage without any practical limits. It’s designed in such a way to ensure you cannot overload the input stage or encounter any practical limitations in the output driving capacity during regular use, whether running single-ended or balanced. It has three inputs, and each can be individually set for either MM\/ MC and loading. Each input also then remembers its own settings.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money. The unit features three separate, independently selectable cartridge inputs. This allows choice between three different turntables, or multiple tone arm configurations if required.

As far as we are aware, this contributes nothing to its technical or sonic performance. Take the top off, and in most cases you will find a complex layout that suggests performance. However, further analysis will show that the real work of signal handling and data conversion is done by a dozen or so components. The rest is decoration, designed to suggest competence. These observations formed the basis for the V90-DAC concept. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe wanted to build the best DAC in the world, but to sell it at a fair price. Using state-of-the-art design techniques and components, we set out to design a DAC to produce top-notch technical performance – housed in a modest, reasonably priced package. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90-DAC has a balance of measurements: distortion, noise, linearity, bandwidth, and phase, which in their totality are not significantly bettered by any product at any price. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you hunt around, you may find the occasional DAC that claims to have slightly better performance than the V90-DAC in one area or another, but in totality will not exceed it. There are plenty of competitors shouting about their new, wonderful version of the emperor’s new clothes, but they offer little or nothing in real performance to back up their claims. Just lots of talk about subjective this or that, but all of it is just a matter of opinion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90-DAC is a matter of fact.

Their low quality negatively influences the sound. V90 BLU5 HD is using a separate DAC, based on the first-class Burr-Brown chip PCM1781D.

The V90 BLU5 HD has a HiFi audio-oriented chip from leading manufacturer Qualcomm. CSR8670 is a premium-tier product, designed to deliver high quality wireless audio performance and support the development of highly differentiated, premium wireless audio products. CSR8670 even has a relatively high-quality onboard DAC - also with 24\/192 capability. After extensive listening tests however, we saw that we could do better and designed and built our own digital section consisting of a separate SRC and DAC in typical Musical Fidelity fashion. The result was worth it, because we have probably made the finest Bluetooth receiver on the market!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eV90 BLU 5 HD is using the latest Bluetooth standard 5.0\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBluetooth 5.0 is the latest version of the Bluetooth wireless communication standard. It includes various improvements, but only when used with compatible peripherals. We were able to push the range of the Bluetooth connection all the way to 240 metres (compared to 30 metres in Bluetooth 2.0). Even with obstacles and walls in the way, we can access more bandwidth allowing us to ensure constant high bit-rates for your aptX HD transmission. Of course, this requires a mobile device that also supports these standards. Should you have an older phone without BT 5.0, the standard will still be fully backwards compatible and just fall back to previous BT versions, albeit with taking hits in range and bandwidth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAptX HD\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eV90 BLU5 HD is equipped with aptX HD. It was designed to answer the growing demand for high resolution audio. This enhanced codec supports 24-bit, high-resolution formats over Bluetooth. For aptX HD to work, your mobile device needs to supports it too. With careful engineering and expert circuit board design we could improve the signal-to-noise ratio, resulting in lower background noise. Lower THD and no audible artefacts ensure you can enjoy your music with hardly any interference. This means, we can now enable you hear even the smallest details in your music with punchy dynamics and transient detail on a real high-end level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Input Extender\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V90 BLU5 HD can be integrated into any audio system, even if there are no free inputs left. It will bypass the analogue RCA-in to its analogue out and digital-ins to its digital outs. Then, whenever you play a Bluetooth source, the V90 will automatically detect and play that signal instead. If a free input is available, then the V90 can be connected in the more traditional way and expand your range of inputs via its own analogue or digital inputs. We have also built in digital outputs, should you ever wish to feed your Bluetooth source to a different DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eV90-BLU - Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBluetooth Performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD(+ noise): \u0026lt;0.01% ('A' wtd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: +0, –0.1dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeperation: -78dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal \/ Noise ratio: -80dB  ('A' wtd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x line level RCA (phono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA coaxial connector SPDIF 32-192 kbps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x TOSLINK optical connector 32-96 kbps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOutputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x line level RCA (phono)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RCA coaxial connector SPDIF 32-192 kbps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x TOSLINK optical connector 32-96 kbps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions - WxHxD (mm): 170 x 47 x 117\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (unpacked \/ packed): 590g \/ 1.05 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplied Accessories\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x 12v 500mA DC power supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Bluetooth Antenna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser Manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"singlePane\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"singlePane\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"singlePane\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"singlePane\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"singlePane\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Musical Fidelity","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":36763933245608,"sku":"MUFIVBLUBK","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":36763933278376,"sku":"MUFIVBLUSI","price":699.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0116\/1773\/0617\/products\/vinylsound-MUSICALFIDELITYV90-BLU-STREAMINGMUSICSYSTEM.jpg?v=1603215257"},{"product_id":"musical-fidelity-m3x-vinyl-phono-stage","title":"Musical Fidelity M3x Vinyl - Phono Stage","description":"\u003ch1\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sideBar\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"quote\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3x ViNYL is a phono stage, designed to be without any practical limits. Connectivity is straight forward. You have an input and an output. Neither of them can be overloaded at the input or limited in the output driving capacity. It can be set for either MM or MC and exact loading. It offers state-of-the art technical and sonic performance just like the M6x ViNYL, but at a cheaper entry level to the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesign Philosophy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M3x ViNYL has been switched, just like in its bigger brother the M6x ViNYL, to an entirely discrete circuitry, which results in better technical measurements and better sound. It is equipped with one single-ended input and output. But the important question is: what is so special about discrete circuits?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it is Musical Fidelity’s lowest price amplifier, it embodies our hallmark values of uncoloured, stress-free sound, outstanding technical performance and great value for money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Advantage of Discrete Circuits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA discrete circuit is composed of electronic components which are disparate, individual devices, also called discrete components. These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special audio transformer with low core saturation decreases the level of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential because otherwise any phono amplifier will never be able to work correctly. Together with the distance between transformer and amplification section and the electromagnetic shielding, we are creating an incredibly high signal to noise ratio. If we are working with the few hundreds of microvolts from a phono cartridge, everything is playing its role; every decibel of signal to noise ratio is crucially important. For the first time, we have implemented our new proprietary power supply solution that has zero standby power consumption. Absolutely zero! It is a super green product and we are sure, there isn’t any other product in existence with an ecological standby function like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSplit Passive EQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany other phono stages are using a single equalization network in a global feedback loop. By means of an EQ network, the amplified signal from the output of the phono preamp is brought back to the input of the phono preamp. This is the before mentioned feedback loop, and the results, as you can imagine, are not in accordance with the high standards in Musical Fidelity design philosophy. The M3x ViNYL uses split passive equalization in separate amplification stages without global negative feedback loops for its RIAA curve. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Tech Mechanical and Electrical Engineering - Hand Made in the EU\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM3x ViNYL has a steel chassis and a thick, heavy aluminium frontplate, which brings outstanding rigidity to the entire system and at the same time splendid isolation against outside interference.

Its predecessor, the M6s DAC was one of the first to use the critically acclaimed ESS 32-bit HyperStream II DAC architecture. With the M6sR DAC, we continued to improve the firmware and added a few other quality of life improvements. DSD was now easier to use, we had full Roon Support and in- \u0026amp; outputs were updated to keep up with the fast moving digital audio landscape. And the other big thing: the M6sR DAC was now being made in the EU!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Talk\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the M6x DAC we went even further. Building on our knowledge and experience with Sabre ESS chips, we upgraded them to the newer ES9038Q2M, and now use two of them in dual differential mode for a pristine dual mono design. The inclusion of a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator results in superb SNR and THD+N performance with unbelievablely detailed transient response. Other advances in the DAC section include upsampling and re-clocking. Upsampling can independently be switched on or off. The 16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors ensure there is always enough headroom for these operations, the new digital filters and the MQA processing. The single ended RCA and balanced XLR outputs each have their own output buffer. Via the XLR plugs you can enjoy a fully-differential amplifier design enabling a fully balanced output. Both output stages deliver superior audio quality, exhibit very low noise, large output voltage swing and high current drive. The excellent gain bandwidth and very fast slew rate produce exceptionally low distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSuper Silent Power Transformers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M6x DAC displays our continued development of our Super Silent Power Transformers. Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum.

They work in different domains, have their own requirements and need to be treated as such. Power requirements are unique and solutions designed for amplifiers will not show similar results when paired with digital circuitry. We have always held circuit board design and layout up to the highest of standards at Musical Fidelity. We are not believers of flashy board design just for the sake of looks. The design \u0026amp; layout need to be custom-tailored to each application, measure well AND sound as envisioned. Only then have we done our job. At this point, we have given the listener a palpable sense of the recording venue that places the performers in a real-time holographic space in their own homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Amplifier\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in headphone amplifier‘s current-feedback AB architecture delivers high bandwidth, extremely low noise, and up to 128dB of dynamic range. Three key features make current-feedback amplifiers outstanding for audio. The high slew rate prevents odd order distortion anomalies. Current-on-demand at the output enables the amplifier to respond quickly and linearly; when large amounts of output power are suddenly needed, the amplifier can respond extremely quickly without raising the noise floor of the system and degrading the signal-to-noise ratio. Gain-independent frequency response allows the full bandwidth of the amplifier to be used over a wide range of volume settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanically Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaying close attention to every aspect of the M6x DAC, we get incredible technical parameters and effortless sound quality full of grace and transparency. The mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidality tradition. Front panel and side panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles. The exterior doesn’t only look clean, stunning and indestructible, it also protects the internals against outer electromagnetic fields, and in the same way, the rest of your HiFi gear against electromagnetic fields generated by the M6x DAC. Not using a big display on the front panel only increases this effect, as the cut out needed for it would drastically complicate things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMusical Fidelity for the Sake of Music\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, musical purists who are simply looking to feel that hypnotic sensation of communication between listener and artist: they will find it here. Besides maximising sound performance, the deliberate decision against a big display with flashing colours allows you to experience the music and only the music. Unpack the M6x DAC, carefully cable it up, just leave it at its standard settings and feel the immediate musical integration: the whole sound is sweet and clear; the treble is completely grain free and extended. The bottom end sounds endless with tactile bass dynamics. As you get reintroduced to your music library, you might, at some point, want to discover what else is possible and hear it from different stages. It is then, when the customizability and settings turn the M6x DAC into a powerful tool for experts, which elevates it into a league of its own. Explore the sound stage with upsampling or without, and see if you are drawn in deeper. Choose between 7 different digital filters and a complete oversampling bypass, disabling those filters. Full MQA decoding is performed on the M6x DAC hardware. The USB Class 2.0 input takes PCM sample rates up to 768 kHz and 32 bit. DSD support goes up to DSD256 via DoP and native DSD512. The S\/PDIF inputs accept stereo PCM sample rates up to 192 kHz \/ 24 bit and include full MQA support!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe M6x DAC In Brief\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC Circuit: 32 bit Hyperstream II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC Chip: 2x ES9038Q2M (dual differential)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: up to 32bit\/768kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB: DSD 256 (stereo DoP), DSD512 (stereo native)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSPDIF: up to 24bit\/192kHHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvanced Reclocking on all inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable Upsampling with Oversampling Bypass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Silent Power Transformer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBalanced and RCA output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull Hardware MQA Decoding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoon Tested\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eM6x DAC - Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDAC\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC Circuit: 32 bit Hyperstream II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDAC Chip: 2x ES9038Q2M (dual differential)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal correlated jitter: \u0026lt;12 picooseconds peak to peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinearity: \u0026lt;0.4dB down to -130dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: -0,1dB at 10Hz, 0dB at 1kHz, -0,4dB at 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChannel separation: \u0026gt;130dB at 10kHz @ 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal to noise: \u0026gt;120dB “A”- wtd 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal harmonic distortion: \u0026lt; 0,0005% at 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDigital Inputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Coax, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Optical, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x AES\/EBU, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM + MQA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x USB Audio Class 2.0, ‘USB B’; up to 32 bit 768kHz (stereo PCM + MQA), DSD 256 (stereo DoP), DSD512 (stereo native)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAnalogue Outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 pair line level RCA fix\/var @ 2V RMS at 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 pair line level XLR fix\/var @ 4V RMS at 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: \u0026lt; 10 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Headphone out 6.3mm jack variable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHeadphone Amp\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 1.5W \/ channel into 32 Ω\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput impedance: Min. recommended 16Ω headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTHD: \u0026lt; 0,005% at 1kHz @ 0dBFS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal\/noise ratio: \u0026gt;115dB “A” wtd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: +0.1, -0.4dB 20Hz to 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGeneral Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (WxHxD): 440 x 100 x 390mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain voltages: 230V\/115V Internally set or 100V optional\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.

A huge part inside the chassis is dedicated to the extensive power supply section. We have PSUs and high-end voltage stabilization components for all the different PCB units. We have advanced re-clocking – even the main CPU is operated by an audio optimized clock, which is completely unheard in typical streaming solutions, as they typically run with standard CPU clocks like those in regular computers. Every incoming digital signal is cleaned up from the very beginning. All audio files that come in and out, are the best they can be by eliminating all unwanted noise that can be found in common streaming solutions. With an optimized software, we were able to push this high-tech hardware design to its absolute limits.

First released back in 1985, it quickly made waves for being an absolute beast when it came down to driving some of the most difficult speakers of that time, even though it was actually a rather low powered integrated amplifier. But: it was all done in pure Class A with excellent and expertly laid out discrete symmetrical circuitry topology and using only highest quality components.

It‘s able to output 25W of pure Class A power @ 8 ohms load with 25A of maximum output. While the numbers here might seem rather low, the ability for the output stage to drive difficult speakers is a small miracle in itself. The amp design being dynamic class A, and if Class A standing current is exceeded, it will automatically allow more. It therefore “slides” (NOT “switches”) smoothly into class B style operation, temporarily allowing the further current draw needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new A1 has received an updated transformer from shared (1985 original) to more efficient “dual mono split rail” windings.

These can be “passive” components, like resistors, capacitors and inductors, as well as “active” components, which in our case are transistors. The opposite to this would be an integrated circuit, which uses operational amplifiers (Op-Amps) in the signal chain. In our industry we employ specialised Op-Amps built for audio applications, which allow us to produce very small and efficient electronics, as well as saving the time of design engineers. However, countless hours of listening tests and years of experience have shown us that even the very best Op-Amps do not tend to be so neutral, natural, dynamic or vivid – all of which are characteristics of the Musical Fidelity “sound”. For that reason, we’re rediscovering our passion for traditional, discrete designs. Where standard phono pre-amplifiers with integrated circuits have a few tens or hundreds of components, discrete designs will employ hundreds or thousands of components by comparison. That makes for an extended design process, but in our opinion results in the best sound for your money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToroidal Power Transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe special audio transformer with low core saturation decreases the level of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential because otherwise any phono amplifier will never be able to work correctly. Together with the distance between transformer and amplification section and the electromagnetic shielding, we are creating an incredibly high signal to noise ratio. If we are working with the few hundreds of microvolts from a phono cartridge, everything is playing its role; every decibel of signal to noise ratio is crucially important. For the first time, we have implemented our new proprietary power supply solution that has zero standby power consumption. Absolutely zero! It is a super green product and we are sure, there isn’t any other product in existence with an ecological standby function like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSplit Passive EQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany other phono stages are using a single equalization network in a global feedback loop. By means of an EQ network, the amplified signal from the output of the phono preamp is brought back to the input of the phono preamp. This is the before mentioned feedback loop, and the results, as you can imagine, are not in accordance with the high standards in Musical Fidelity design philosophy. The M3x ViNYL uses split passive equalization in separate amplification stages without global negative feedback loops for its RIAA curve. This is more costly to design and implement but ensures the most accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve. Split passive equalization allows for better impedance matching and lower deviation from the ideal RIAA curve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh-Tech Mechanical and Electrical Engineering – Hand Made in the EU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eM3x ViNYL has a steel chassis and a thick, heavy aluminium frontplate, which brings outstanding rigidity to the entire system and at the same time splendid isolation against outside interference.

Musical Fidelity's BPC (Balanced Power Conditioner) series is designed to improve on that power. BPC10 is the flagship of the range, typically used for larger Hi-Fi or home theater systems — multiple amplifiers up to 1550W combined, digital and analogue sources, a projector, and subwoofers. It offers 6 power outlets split into 3 isolated power zones (two 200VA zones and one 1550VA zone), so you can isolate devices with switch-mode power supplies from devices with linear power supplies for maximum performance. Separating modern digital sources from analogue sources like phono preamps or turntables reduces interference between them.

The home-theater bypass input bypasses the preamp stage entirely, letting the M5xi operate as a high-performance stereo power amplifier for the front left\/right channels in a multichannel system, while fixed line outputs and variable preamp outputs add flexibility for headphone amplifiers, external power amps, or active subwoofers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1018,\"w\":560,\"h\":29,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":1018}'\u003eRedesigned Phonostage and Digital Separation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp bis_size='{\"x\":12,\"y\":1058,\"w\":560,\"h\":137,\"abs_x\":12,\"abs_y\":1058}'\u003eThe built-in MM\/MC phonostage has been redesigned from the M5si's MM-only stage, adding moving-coil cartridge support with improved circuit design, layout, isolation, and shielding. The transformer and power supply PCB are encapsulated in a metal enclosure to reduce electromagnetic interference throughout the amplifier, particularly benefiting the high-gain phonostage circuitry. Digital and analog sections are physically separated on dedicated PCBs, with the digital and ARC boards using their own linear power supply, reducing RF interference to protect the sensitive analog

SPDIF inputs have also been improved, now supporting MQA (up to 384kHz) and DSD (DoP 64). A low-noise, low-dropout regulator with dual-regulator architecture, combined with a Time Domain Jitter Eliminator, achieves total correlated jitter below 100 femtoseconds — outperforming many respected standalone audiophile clock generators. 16-core XMOS and CPLD MAX II Altera processors handle upsampling, reclocking, digital filters, and MQA processing, which is now available on both USB and SPDIF inputs, unlike the prior M6x DAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUpsampling, Reclocking, and Oversampling Bypass\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpsampling and reclocking can be individually switched on or off for PCM signals, while DSD and MQA use their own format-specific settings and filters. For PCM, M8x DAC offers 8 selectable digital filters. Filter 8 activates an oversampling bypass mode — the default setting out of the box — which disables the DAC's oversampling FIR filters and upsamples source data to 352.8kHz or 384kHz. At ultra-high sample rates of 705.6kHz and 768kHz, source data enters the DAC block directly, turning off all remaining filtering. Because the oversampling filter is the largest single digital block on the ESS DAC chip by silicon area, powering it down reduces on-chip PSU\/ground noise and lowers signal-correlated clock modulation on the DAC die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscrete, Fully Balanced Circuitry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM8x DAC's output stage is fully discrete and fully balanced, a major evolution from the M6x DAC's IC-based output stage. In a true balanced design, the + and - signal paths for each channel are processed independently rather than combined early (as in a \"pseudo-balanced\" design), doubling the amplifier sections needed but allowing common-mode noise to be subtracted out along the way. Musical Fidelity states this benefits both sound quality and long-term repairability, since discrete components remain serviceable long after specific ICs go out of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Power Balanced Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in headphone amplifier uses a fully discrete design with DC-coupled power operational amplifiers built from transistors, rather than the chip-based designs found in most standalone headphone amps. It offers a 6.3mm jack for unbalanced headphones and a 4-pin XLR output for balanced headphones. The fully differential balanced design delivers 3.9W into 8 ohms (versus 2W unbalanced), with short peaks in excess of 10W handled with ease, and runs in Class A up to full power for headphones rated 30 ohms or higher. Output transistors are also chosen to comfortably drive low-impedance headphones down to 8 ohms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePower Supply and Build\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM8x DAC uses a Super Silent Power Transformer alongside a sizable, separate discrete power filtering and DC-blocking PCB, industrial-grade power sockets with EMI filtering and DC blocking, and an encapsulated toroidal transformer with low core saturation purpose-built for digital audio and headphone applications. Digital and analogue power supplies are carefully separated, and each output and headphone amp stage has its own DC servo, powered by two symmetrical low-noise power supplies (one per channel). Front, side, and top panels are milled from extruded aluminium profiles, and the case's mass acts as a Faraday cage protecting the sensitive internals from external electromagnetic fields — the deliberate absence of a front display further supports this shielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"However you pair it, the M8x DAC is superb.

Unlike a \"pseudo-balanced\" design that combines the + and - signals before processing, M8x Vinyl treats the + and - sections of each channel independently — doubling the amplifier sections, PCB space, and component count compared to a single-ended design, in exchange for excellent noise, error, and interference suppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSplit-Passive EQ with RIAA, DECCA, and COLUMBIA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EQ stage is completely passive and split into two separate stages, a more costly design to implement but one that ensures a more accurate representation of the ideal EQ curve with better impedance matching and lower deviation.

Gain ranges from 40dB (100x voltage amplification) up to 69dB (3690x voltage amplification), switched cleanly via signal relays, while input capacitance and impedance are switched using JFET transistors. This lets M8x Vinyl be matched to virtually any cartridge and integrated cleanly into your system, without practical noise, distortion, or overload issues even at the highest gain settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDiscrete Power Supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM8x Vinyl uses an encapsulated toroidal transformer purpose-designed for delicate phono signals, with low core saturation and very low electromagnetic radiation, alongside industrial-grade power sockets with EMI filtering and DC blocking to eliminate transformer hum. Each discrete amp stage has its own DC servo, and the preamp is powered by two symmetrical, low-noise power supplies (one per channel), all passively filtered and regulated — critical when working with the few hundred microvolts a phono cartridge produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"The bass 'n' drums sounded as authentic as we've ever heard them with perfect pace and timing.

It's a strictly analogue, discrete, dual-mono amplifier built around oversized toroidal transformers with multi-array power supplies, topped with a Class-A tube stage using nuvistor tubes — a nearly extinct valve technology. The 600.2 now fully incorporates Musical Fidelity's TITAN power amp design, including a locally decoupled output stage, bringing it in line with the 800.2 and the company's PRE\/PAS\/PAM range, while its PCB layout is optimized for roughly half the 800.2's power output in a sleeker \"V4\" design (4 output transistors per channel, versus the 800.2's \"V10\" 10-per-channel layout).

They saw limited but notable use in studio equipment of the era, including the Ampex MR-70 tape recorder and the AKG\/Norelco C12a and Neumann U47 studio microphones. The transistor's invention largely ended further development of nuvistors until Musical Fidelity created its first Nu-Vista series around fifteen years ago — a limited edition that sold out within months and now commands high secondhand prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"Not only the best amplifier I've heard this year, it's the best amplifier I've reviewed to date.\" — A British Audiophile, December 2025\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\"This amplifier always sounds detailed, dynamic, and compelling.

Giving each output transistor its own high-current bulk supply capacitor allows more immediate access to stored energy through a lower-impedance path, improving transient response and ripple filtering at higher currents — the layout of these capacitors gives the power amp PCB a \"V10\" engine appearance.

The transformers were rewound for lower standing flux and reduced sensitivity to mains DC offset noise, resulting in a slightly larger and heavier transformer that still fits the original casework.
