An elegant and very complete product conceived to push to the limits the possibilities of the most advanced Hi-Res of the moment, using a series of engineering concepts imported from the renowned amplifiers of Musical Fidelity.
The first of these that deserves mention is a Class A analogue amplifier stage executed with discrete components, in order to achieve an extremely pure, warm and detailed sound.
On the other hand, the new Musical Fidelity has no display screens (to avoid unwanted electromagnetic interference) and no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity (in this case to minimise radio frequency radiation and jitter).
In parallel, the use of an opulent, low-noise encapsulated toroidal transformer ensures a clean and stable power supply, while an exceptionally robust mechanical construction guarantees long-term durability.
To top it all off, the M8x DAC also incorporates a very high-performance, high-power headphone amplifier capable of comfortably attacking even the most demanding models.
The Musical Fidelity is rounded off by a fully balanced analogue output circuitry made entirely of discrete components and generous analogue and digital connectivity.
