The Musical Fidelity V90-DAC is designed to ultimately create the best DAC in the world without emptying your wallet. Examine any high—end DAC, and the first thing you'll see is a massive case. As far as is known, this does not affect its technical or sound characteristics in any way. Remove the top cover, and in most cases you'll see a complex layout that suggests performance. However, further analysis will show that the real work on signal processing and data conversion is performed by about a dozen components. The rest is a decoration designed to show competence.

More components

  • V90-LPS

    DACs

    Musical Fidelity V90-LPS

    The main advantage of this model is the highest sound quality inherent in more expensive devices, but at a more attractive price.

  • MX-DAC

    DACs

    Musical Fidelity MX-DAC

    The basis of the Musical Fidelity MX-DAC audiophile DAC is the PCM1795 microcircuit, which performs delta-sigma conversion of a digital audio stream with sampling up to 32 bits/192 kHz. In addition, the SRC4392 processor increases the sampling rate of the input data to 192 kHz.

  • M3X DAC

    DACs

    Musical Fidelity M3X DAC

    The model uses many solutions developed for the older M6 x model, providing functionality and sound quality similar to the components of the M6 series, but at a more affordable price. The Musical Fidelity M3x DAC is based on Burr Brown PCM1795 DAC chips and the Burr Brown SRC4392 sampling frequency converter, which increases the parameters of the digital signal to 24 bits/192 kHz, providing playback of digital content with minimal distortion.

  • M6X DAC

    DACs

    Musical Fidelity M6X DAC

    The M6x DAC is one of the first Musical Fidelity DAC models to use ESS Technology's 32-bit HyperStream II technology. To create this device, the company's developers used two ES9038Q2M chips from the Sabre series, enabled in dual differential mode. By combining the new M6x DAC with a differential amplifier, it is possible to maintain the dual mono ideology throughout the entire audio path, thereby ensuring the clearest possible sound with excellent channel separation and surround stereo sound.

  • NU-VISTA DAC

    DACs

    Musical Fidelity NU-VISTA DAC

    The Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista DAC digital platform is based on a 16-core MOS processor and a CPLD MAX II Altera processor used for resampling. The novelty is equipped with switchable digital filters and supports hardware decoding of the WMA format for USB and SPDIF inputs, and is also compatible with Roon.
