Musical Fidelity M3scd

Musical Fidelity M3scd

The new M3scd is a considerable step up from the M3CD it replaces. A new disc loading mechanism offers traditional draw and great disc playability. While the M3scd offers outstanding CD playback performance it also acts as a digital hub. This means other digital sources can be connected and played using The M3scd’s internal DAC system.

The M3scd has been designed to give outstanding CD reproduction and to be a digital hub.

In addition to CD it has 3 digital inputs: coax, optical and asynchronous USB. This makes it particularly useful for set top boxes and/or TV sound improvement. The technical performance is excellent; it has very low distortion, extremely low jitter, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, extremely flat frequency response, exemplary linearity and excellent channel separation.

All in all the M3scd gives excellent CD replay and can act as a versatile digital hub at the same time.
