Musical Fidelity MX-DAC

Musical Fidelity was, pretty well, the first hi-fi company in the world to make a DAC.  Since that time we had been at the forefront of DAC performance technology.  All our DACs have offered cutting edge performance, fair pricing and outstanding build quality.

Until now we have chosen not get involved with the DSD format because the technology was very fluid.

After many years of patient research and development we are proud to launch our MX-DAC with DSD.

The MX DAC represents truly outstanding value for money.  Its combination of superlative technical performance, technical innovation, build quality and value should prove a compelling  proposition for music lovers.
