Musical Fidelity M2S CD - CD Player

The Musical Fidelity M2sCD is a premium Red-Book CD player that combines modern digital engineering with musical finesse. Built in a sturdy metal chassis (available in black or silver), it uses a slot-loading mechanism, a mains choke filter, and a digital-stream noise filter to reduce unwanted interference, noise, and jitter. Its DAC is a 24-bit delta-sigma design with dual differential output and 8× oversampling, enabling smooth, accurate conversion. The M2sCD delivers low distortion (< 0.003% THD over 10 Hz-20 kHz), excellent signal-to-noise ratio (≈ 117 dB A-weighted), and large channel separation (~105 dB), ensuring that details, space, and dynamics in the music are conveyed with clarity. It offers both analogue RCA line outputs and digital outputs (coaxial RCA + optical Toslink) so you can use it as a transport or full CD source. With physical dimensions around 440 × 100 × 375 mm, it weighs about 6.65 kg, drawing up to 20 W during operation. The M2sCD is ideal for audiophiles who want both excellent sonic performance and versatile output options in a CD player.

Description

Like the matching M2si integrated amplifier, the M2scd is designed as serious hi-fi available at a modest price. From the fine fit and finish of its metal casework to the unique technology sitting inside, the M2scd exceeds expectations. The M2scd builds on Musical Fidelity’s years of engineering expertise, uniquely featuring both a mains choke filter and a high-tech digitalstream noise filter. Such innovations enable the player to deliver technical performance; it boasts low distortion and a virtually flat frequency response, plus minimal noise and jitter.
