Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player
The matching Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player is the latest in Musical Fidelity’s long line of well-regarded, high-tech digital products. In 1987, Musical Fidelity was virtually the first company to make a DAC. Since then, we have been at the cutting edge of technology. All of our digital products have been well received, and, with their great technical performance, they represent excellent value for money.
Because we believe that the first step to proper musicality is excellent technical performance, we have ensured that the Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player has low distortion, virtually flat frequency response, low noise and low jitter. Once we sorted out those, we went on to refine subtle matters of engineering that give proper musicality.
Among these are the unique high-tech digital-stream noise filter that we have built into the Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player. This makes a large contribution to its technical performance and musicality.
The Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player also has a mains choke filter. As far as we are aware, our usage is unique among CD players. The mains choke filters out unwanted noise from the mains and allows the Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player’s five independent power supply units to work properly, regardless of mains irregularities.
In making the M3 Series, we have tried our best to make the casework elegant, well built and beautifully finished. The Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player's front panels are custom-made extrusions of solid metal finished to a high standard. The knobs and buttons are machined from solid metal. The metalwork is snug-fitting with close-tolerances, reflecting fine craftsmanship in its manufacture.
The sound quality of the Musical Fidelity M3i Integrated Amplifier and Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player is rather like the way they look The quality is smooth, serene and structured. Their excellent dynamic range is coupled with outstanding load driving ability and stability margins. The sound is warm and inviting, but not coloured.
While their prices are relatively modest, the Musical Fidelity M3i Integrated Amplifier and Musical Fidelity M3CD CD Player offer proper high end performance. They are a great starting or finishing point for your musical hi-fi journey. We hope that you will enjoy listening to them in your home for many years to come.
