Recognized as one of the great brands of Audio High End further genuinely “British” of all time, Musical Fidelity has just launched a new and sophisticated electronic, which adds even more five years to its M8 series held By expanding the fabulous options offered to the demanding amateur: the M8X DAC Audio Digital Processor. Heir of one tradition which began at the beginning of the 90s’, this new product has been conceived to bring to the limit the possibilities of the most advanced “hi-res” of the moment, using a series of Engineering concepts Imported from the reputable amplifiers of the veteran British company. The first one who deserves to be reviewed is a Analog amplification stage in class A executed with discrete components, in order to get an extremely sound Pure, warm and detailed.
On the other hand, in the new musical Fidelity there are neither visualization screens (to avoid unwanted electromagnetic interference) nor Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity (in this case with the objective of minimize radiofrequency radiation and synchronism abnormalities or “jitter”). In parallel, the use of an opulent Low noise encapsulated toroidal transformer ensures a clean and stable energy supply, while a mechanical construction Exceptionally solid guarantees long -term durability. And if all this were not enough, the M8X DAC also incorporates a balanced headphones amplifier very high benefits and high power (3’2 W at 32 ohms and 400 MW at 300 ohms), capable of attacking even the most demanding models. Entering the details of this refined product, you have to aim in the first place that uses two “chips” of conversion D/a Sabre 9039q2m of EsS Technology configured in Double differential modein order to maximize the benefits inherent in the use of a monofonic double architecture.
Thanks to this, it is available PCM file support up to 768 kHz, DSD512 (Native mode; DSD256 via DOP) and MQA (up to 384 kHz), while the use of a Ultrabajo noise regulator designed specifically for “hi-res” and cash audio signals “Time Domain Jitter Eliminator” It results in a practically null total harmonic distortion and an incredibly detailed transitory response. To this we must add a dedicated synchronism clock of very high precision, whose jitter rate is less than 100 femtosecondos and a fundamental characteristic: the presence of a Removen section and latest generation resynchronism For PCM, DSD and MQA data flows selectable by the user and based on two advanced processors, specifically one of 16 nuclei and a altera max II clpd. The new Fidelity musical audio processor is completed with a Analog circuitry completely balanced, and with its own food, run entirely with discrete components, the latter detail that in addition to increasing the musicality facilitates possible improvements/maintenance operations in the future, and with a generous connectivity Analog and digital.
