Its \"entry level\" price should not suggest compromises; the new M3x DAC should be considered very close to a high-end converter.\u003cbr\u003eThanks to the careful design of both the circuit layout, the power supply sections, and the build quality of the chassis, the new M3x DAC stands at the forefront of modern DAC converters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold_editor\"\u003eTechnology\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe M3x DAC project was developed around the excellent Burr Brown SRC4392 up-sampling chip, responsible for re-clocking all PCM signals and then converting them to 24bit\/192kHz. The up-sampling implemented in this sophisticated configuration allows for low distortion levels and maintains high digital reproduction quality. The PCM1795 DAC can effortlessly handle PCM streams up to 24bit\/192kHz and native DSD and DoP up to DSD256. DSD files are not oversampled but reproduced in their original format. Both the unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR outputs feature their own output buffer for optimal separation, audio quality, and low noise. Furthermore, the output voltage and current are higher, as is the bandwidth, with fast transients and exceptionally low distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold_editor\"\u003e\"Super Silent\" Transformer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe study and search for the perfect \"super silent\" transformer are also found in the Musical Fidelity M3x DAC. Starting from the industrial-type power socket with EMI filter and DC block, which blocks interference and eliminates transformer hum. The transformer used is a toroidal type with low core saturation, ideal for audio applications and particularly for digital audio thanks to its extremely reduced electromagnetic radiation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold_editor\"\u003ePerfect PCB Design and Layout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDigital-to-analog converters, compared to integrated amplifiers, for example, present their own design challenges. They work differently, have their own requirements, and must be treated accordingly. Power requirements are unique, and the design solutions of integrated amplifiers will not yield the same results when paired with digital circuits. Musical Fidelity has always believed that PCB design and layout should conform to the highest standards. The design and layout must be customized for each application, exhibit good measurements, and sound as intended. The listener, in their home environment, should be able to appreciate the spaciousness of the recording location and perfectly place the instruments in space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bold_editor\"\u003eThe Sound of the Chassis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMusical Fidelity leaves nothing to chance, and even the mechanical construction of the chassis must meet numerous standards.
