The M6SI STREAM is an integrated amplifier with built-in DAC, phono stage, and networked streaming from Musical Fidelity, sharing the M6SI's output power into 8 ohms with considerably greater headroom into 4 ohms. The M6SI STREAM brings Musical Fidelity's more accomplished current engineering to a complete, feature-rich integrated chassis.

Key specs that matter

One balanced XLR input and four single-ended inputs are provided. The phono stage uses a sophisticated current-sensing design at 47,000 ohms, matching the M6SI. Output power is 220W into 8 ohms, matching the M6SI, rising to 380W into 4 ohms - considerably more headroom into demanding loads. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 107dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under an exceptionally low 0.007%. At 440 x 125 x 400mm and 16.6kg, the M6SI STREAM shares the M6SI's chassis dimensions and weight exactly, with the addition of built-in networked streaming.

Sound and use context

Expect the musically engaging character Musical Fidelity's broader British catalogue is celebrated for, with the built-in networked streaming functionality covering digital sources directly alongside the current-sensing phono stage and DAC.

Pairing

The built-in networked streaming functionality, DAC, and phono stage together cover digital, network, and analogue vinyl sources directly without needing separate outboard devices.

Alternatives

Musical Fidelity's own M6SI offers a streaming-free alternative for buyers not needing that functionality within the same broader catalogue.
