Musical Fidelity M3S CD - CD Player

The Musical Fidelity M3sCD is a refined CD player and digital hub that delivers high-fidelity sound and flexibility in one elegant chassis. At its core, it features a slot-load standard Red-Book CD mechanism combined with a 24-bit delta-sigma, dual-differential oversampling DAC (8×), ensuring extremely low distortion, low noise, and a flat frequency response. In addition to CD playback, it offers three digital inputs—coaxial SPDIF (up to 192 kHz), optical SPDIF (up to 96 kHz), and asynchronous USB-B (24-bit/96 kHz)—so you can use it as a digital source for TV, streamers, or your computer. Specifications include THD+noise of less than 0.003 % in the 10 Hz–20 kHz range, signal-to-noise ratio over 117 dB, channel separation better than 105 dB, and total jitter under 135 picoseconds. Outputs include analog RCA, plus digital coaxial and optical SPDIF. With its solid build quality, moderate footprint (≈ 440 × 100 × 380 mm) and weight (~6.05 kg unloaded), the M3sCD is ideal for anyone who wants excellent CD replay and a versatile digital front end for their system
