M6CD 24 Bit 192kHz CD Player and DAC

The M6CD/DAC is the latest evolution of Musical Fidelity’s high performance digital range. It has a very high quality 24-bit 192K true upsampling DAC which has outstanding linearity, ultra low noise, very low distortion and ruler flat frequency response.

The M6CD/DAC is a very high quality DAC as well as being a CD player. Once you have created a very high performance DAC for a CD player it is relatively low cost to add 3 extra digital inputs so it can be used as a very high quality DAC as well. That’s what we’ve done with the M6CD. It has inputs for USB, coax and optical.
Given a reasonable quality digital stream the M6’s DAC will make a huge measurable improvement to performance to any source.

The M6’s sonic quality is smooth and sweet. There is no harshness, excellent image. Great spatial recovery. Huge dynamic range.

M6i 200wpc high performance integrated amp with balanced and USB inputs

The new M6i integrated amp is designed to give great sonic and technical performance. Its design and build quality are excellent.
Internally the M6i is actually a separate preamp with two monobloc power amps. The M6i has one huge mains transformer which gives entirely separate outputs for left and right power amps and preamps. Even though the M6i is a one box solution it’s actually a set of discreet monobloc power amps with a separate preamp in one sleek package.

Due to its excellent practical linearity, low distortion and excellent load driving ability the M6i can be paired with any loudspeaker. It’s extremely quiet so high sensitivity loudspeakers are fine but at the same time it’s very powerful so lower sensitivity speakers present no problem.

The M6i’s sound is calm and unruffled. Huge dynamics are delivered with ease. Quiet passages are sweet and warm. The overall picture the M6i delivers is natural and uncolored.

Build quality is exceptional. The front panel is beautifully finished high quality aluminum. The knobs and buttons are machined from solid aluminum; the badge is from medical grade stainless steel. The heatsinks are fine line finished custom made extrusions.

The Musical Fidelity M6i is the perfect companion for music!

Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player

Continuing the tradition of producing outstanding digital products, Musical Fidelity presents the ultra-high value M3CD.

The M3CD features sleek slot-loaded CD mechanism and a unique digital filter and DAC architecture that make a substantial contribution to its overall technical performance and musicality.
The M3CD also uses a mains choke filter, which is quite unique among CD players. This feature ensures a very clean main supply and allows the 5 independent local power supplies in the unit to work at their best, vastly improving performance.

Musical Fidelity M3i Integrated Amplifier

The M3-series shares the same new, elegant casework of the M6-series, but in a slightly lower-profile chassis. As with M6, the M3-series front panels are custom extrusions of solid metal finished to a high standard, with knobs and buttons also machined from solid. Fit and finish is impeccable!

The M3i integrated amplifier features its own derivation of the Titan circuit to provide 70wpc into 8ohms, and nearly 140wpc into 4ohm loads. M3i omits the balanced and USB inputs found in the M6i, but it does share its discrete Class-A preamplifier section with its own, independent power supply and transformer windings, preamplifier (variable) outputs, and an input that can be configured for home theater bypass.

M3i has a warm, natural character, but would never be considered overly colored-sounding. It has very low distortion and sufficient power to drive all but the most demanding loudspeakers available with ease. It promises to be a real contender for any amplifier anywhere near its price!
