A year after introducing their top-of-the-line M6x DAC, MF is following up with its little brother the M3x DAC, designed and built in Europe.
The M3x DAC is a 43cm chassis with solid casework which is uncompromisingly rigid. That not only makes the M3x DAC pretty to look at but also protects the circuitry from electromagnetic fields.
The new device features a Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC and an SRC4392 sampling rate converter. All PCM signals are upsampled to 24bit 192 kHz and both outputs – the RCA and balanced XLR have their own output buffers. The output stages offer superior audio quality due to ultra low noise, large output voltage and high current drive. The broad gain bandwidth and lightning fast slew rate result in exceptionally low distortion, the company says.
According to the press release, the M3x DAC employs Musical Fidelity's Super Silent Power Transformers. The industrial-grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interference and eliminate transformer hum. The result is extremely low electromagnetic radiation.
Connectivity includes 2x coaxial and 2x optical inputs, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM), and 1x USB Audio v2.0, B-Type port for streams up to 32 bit/192kHz (stereo PCM) and DSD256 (stereo DoP and native DSD). Analog output is through one pair line level RCA fix/var (2V RMS at 0dBFS) and one pair line level XLR fix/var (4V RMS at 0dBFS).
