Carefully crafted high-level engineering is the main calling card of the M3x DAC, a product that offers overflowing musicality to modern digital audio enthusiasts.
Thus, in the new Musical Fidelity we first find a D/A conversion circuitry complemented by an oversampling scheme based on the effective SRC4392 sample rate converter from the American Burr-Brown, a “chip” whose task is to resynchronize all PCM signals and “scale” them to 24 bits/192 kHz while minimizing distortion.
For its part, the D/A converter itself, also from Burr-Brown under the name PCM1795, can handle PCM content up to 24 bits/192 kHz and DSD (native mode and via DoP) up to DSD256 (DSD files are not resampled). , playing in its original format).
The M3x DAC, which systematically uses discrete components selected for their sound qualities and is pending Roon Tested approval, is completed with printed circuit boards (PCB) specially adapted to the circuits they house and a 100% metal mechanical construction that combines extruded aluminum on the front panel and very thick steel on the chassis, in order to protect the entire assembly against external electromagnetic fields.
