Musical Fidelity has come up with its first digital-to-analogue converter that supports high-resolution DSD digital playback in the form of MX-DAC. A result of years of research and development, the MX-DAC is designed to offer superlative audio performance. For all the Hi-Fi enthusiasts who are looking for exceptional audiophile performance yet a compact design, nothing could be as innovative and functionalas the MX-DAC.
Flawless Digital Conversion
The MX-DAC offers a cutting-edge digital conversion. It carries out an accurate and neutral digital-to-analogue conversion and offers improved flexibility with balanced as well as single-ended outputs.
Direct Stream Digital Format
DSD digital format is known to offer the best audio experience possible by storing audio at a very high sampling rate in the form of a series of single-bit values. Digital inputs like USB, optical or COAX process data in the DSD domain to deliver high-quality audio.
Versatile Input Options
The MX-DAC offers versatile connectivity. It features two COAXIAL inputs (up to 24 bit 192 kHz), two optical inputs (up to 24 bit 96 kHz) and one USB input (up to 24 bit 192 kHz). In addition to this, the MX-DAC also supports inputs for DSD 64 kHz and 128 kHz.
Original Musical Performance
Unlike simple digital conversion, the MX-DAC infuses warmth and humanity into the sound and, thus, proves to be a gripping proposition for all music lovers. It offers the best possible original musical performance, bringing the users much closer to the intended and genuine musical representation put forth by the creator while recording.
Outstanding Build Quality
A value-for-money product, the MX-DAC presents an excellent combination of exceptional-looking aesthetics and a sturdy build. Exclusive custom made extrusions that are forged using Mil-spec aluminum are used to design the front panel as well as the housing for an ultra-impressive look.
