Musical Fidelity Say….
The M3scd has been designed to give outstanding CD reproduction and to be a digital hub. In addition to CD, it has 3 digital inputs to allow external digital audio sources such as TV, DAB tuners, computer: 1x coax, 1x optical and 1x asynchronous USB. All connections use a top quality over sampling 24 bit 192 kHz upsampling digital-to analogue converter. The up sampling action moves the digital artefacts to well outside the audio band, allowing easy removal without detriment to the top end of the audio band.
The technical performance is excellent; it has very low distortion, extremely low jitter, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, extremely flat frequency response, exemplary linearity, and excellent channel separation this allows astounding imaging, detail, and transparency, to deliver all music types exactly as the artist originally intended.
All in all, the M3scd gives excellent CD replay and can act as a versatile digital hub at the same time.
