Musical Fidelity MX-DAC Digital to Analogue Converter – Silver

Here we have an example of the MX-DAC digital to analogue converter from former British company Musical Fidelity. Able to cater for almost all digital inputs this fully balanced unit comes in very good condition. It is supplied in original factory packaging along with power supply unit, manual, Windows driver CD and our normal three month warranty.
Musical Fidelity Say….
After years of patient research and development, we are proud to launch our MX-DAC with DSD. With its technical innovation, superb technical performance and excellent build quality, the new MX DAC offers truly outstanding value for money.
The MX-DAC is a tremendous performer. It has ultra-low distortion, very wide bandwidth and low noise. The technical figures are state-of-the-art and show that our implementation is almost perfect, to ensure completely neutral and accurate digital-to-analogue conversion of any digital input. The MX DAC has inputs for: 2 x coax (up to 24-bit 192 kHz PCM), 2 x optical (up to 24-bit 192 kHz PCM) and asynchronous USB up to 24-bit 192 kHz PCM as well as DSD 64 and DSD 128.
Also, all inputs whether from coax, optical or USB, are processed in the DSD domain. This desirable feature gives a warmth and humanity to the sound that simple digital conversion doesn’t achieve. The MX DAC has both single ended and balanced outputs.
The new MX range has beautiful aesthetics and wonderful build quality. The front panel and housing are both from exclusive custom made extrusions using mil-spec aluminium.
