SKU: MFM3XDAC Categories: 'Pricespy, Audio, DAC Description Additional informationDescriptionMusical Fidelity M3x DAC D/A ConverterOverviewOur M3x DAC is our new entry in affordable high-end DACs. With its technical prowess, superb technical performance, careful PCB design in Musical Fidelity tradition, meticulous power supply layout, and excellent build quality, the new M3x DAC offers a truly outstanding modern high-end DAC design.Super Silent Power TransformerThe M3x DAC displays our continued development of our Super Silent Power Transformers. Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum. The toroidal transformer with low core saturation is ideal for audio applications and especially perfect for digital audio due to its extremely low electromagnetic radiation.Mechanically SoundPaying close attention to every aspect of the M3x DAC, we get a tremendous performer. The mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. The front panel is milled from an extruded aluminium profile. Together with the heavy steel case this protects the internals against outer electromagnetic fields, and in the same way, the rest of your HiFi gear against electromagnetic fields generated by the M3x DAC.M3x DAC In BriefPCM1795 DAC with SRC4392 Up sampling Chip2 digital PCM filters & 2 analogue DSD filtersPCM inputs up sampled to 192kHzUSB: up to 32bit/192kHzUSB: DSD 256 (stereo DoP and native)SPDIF: up to 24bit/192kHHz1x USB, 2x coaxial, 2x optical inputs1x RCA, 1x balanced XLR outputAffordable entry into high-end DACsVery low noiseExtremely low distortionOutstanding linearityOutstanding channel separationSuper Silent Power TransformerBalanced and RCA outputHeavy aluminium front plate with steel chassisMinimal electromagnetic interference from power supply to DAC circuitryMade in the EUSpecificationsDACDAC Chip: PCM1795Sample rate converter: SRC4392Total correlated jitter: < 48 picoseconds peak to peakLinearity: < 0,2dB down to -100dBFrequency response: -0,2dB at 20Hz, 0,1dB at 20kHz; 1,5dB at 70kHzChannel separation: < -115dB 10kHz @ 0dBFSSignal to noise: >107dB “A”- wtd 1kHz @ 0dBFSTotal harmonic distortion: < 0,005% at 1kHz @ 0dBFSDigital Inputs2x Coax, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM)2x Optical, up to 24bit 192kHz (stereo PCM)1x USB Audio Class 2.0, ‘USB B’; up to 32 bit 192kHz (stereo PCM), DSD 256 (stereo DoP and native)Analogue Outputs1 pair line level RCA fix/var @ 2V RMS at 0dBFS1 pair line level XLR fix/var @ 4V RMS at 0dBFSOutput impedance: < 50 ohmsGeneral InformationDimensions (WxHxD): 440 x 100 x 363mmMain voltages: 230V/115V Internally set or 100V optionalMax.
