Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC Streamer

Here we have an early “music streamer” from former British company Musical Fidelity. Described as “an all-in-one internet radio, network music player, DAC and analogue preamp offering the ultimate in networked and portable music, as well as home audio flexibility.” Our unit has been testing using the M-Connect App, dates from 2011 and is in very good condition. It is supplied in original factory packaging along with remote control, manual, mains cable, ethernet cable, antenna and our regular three month warranty.
Musical Fidelity Say….
We describe the M1 CLiC as a universal music controller for all your digital and analogue sources.
Essentially it combines a high-quality streamed music player, internet radio, 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) and pre-amplifier in one compact box.
The multi-faceted M1 CLiC handles and enhances a vast array of sources and formats, with support for both wired and wireless networking increasing its flexibility further still.
Whether you’re enjoying a new level of music quality from a laptop, Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, USB drive or more traditional sources, the M1 CLiC clearly displays what it’s playing on its bright, colourful display.
The M1 CLiC’s exceptional capabilities may mean it’s a hard product to categorise, but they make it easy to praise. EISA – Europe’s most prestigious technology association – named the M1 CLiC as Best Network Player in its 2011-2012 Awards; Gramophone’s review called it “remarkable for the money”, Hi-Fi News dubbed it “outstanding’ and Hi-Fi World declared ‘it’s hard to think of another product that’s as versatile’.
