Instructions for use
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity
M1
DAC.
I
""=""
I
The
M1
DAC consists
of
a
top quality
over
sampling 24 bit digital-to-analogue converter circuit which up-samples all
incoming data rates to 192kHz. This moves the digital artefacts to well outside the audio band, allowing
easy
removal
without detriment to the top
end
of
the audio band.
Our
well tuned filtering circuit gives immeasurably small jitter,
noise
and
distortion artefacts allowing astounding imaging, detail
and
transparency, to deliver all music types exactly
as the artist originally intended. The
M1
DAC also features
a
new
asynchronous
USB
24-bit
96kHz
sample rate input
to take full advantage
of
the higher quality recordings available from computers.
The
M1
DAChas
been carefully designed to be partnered with
M1
series,
and
also matches well with M3
and
M6
series products. These combinations
will
yield one
of
the best high-fidelity systems available
at
any
price.
Used
carefully, it should give
many
years
of
outstanding musical reproduction.
Dust regularly with
a
soft duster
or
soft brush,
but
be careful when using cleaning
or
polishing
agents-
they
may
harm the surface finish.
If
there are
any
questions about the audio system, please consult the dealer who is there to help
and
advise.
