The Musical Fidelity M6scd CD Player is a masterclass in digital audio engineering, designed for the enthusiast who views their compact disc collection as a vital, high-fidelity medium rather than a relic of the past. In an era where many manufacturers have moved away from dedicated disc spinning, Musical Fidelity has doubled down on quality, creating a component that functions not only as a world-class CD player but also as a high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can act as the central hub for an entire modern audio system.
Precision Playback and Advanced Conversion
The primary mission of the M6scd is to extract every microscopic bit of information from the silver disc. It achieves this through a high-quality tray-loading mechanism that offers smooth operation and excellent disc stability. However, the true magic happens once the data leaves the disc. The M6scd utilizes a sophisticated 32-bit Delta-Sigma dual-differential DAC architecture. By using two DACs in a differential configuration, the player effectively cancels out noise and non-linearity, resulting in a signal-to-noise ratio that allows for a “black” background from which the music can emerge with startling realism.
To further refine the audio, the M6scd employs 8x oversampling and upsamples all incoming data to 192kHz. This process shifts digital artifacts and aliasing noise far beyond the range of human hearing, allowing the analog output stage to use a gentle, high-quality filter. The result is a sound that is liquid, smooth, and remarkably free of the “digital glare” that often plagues lesser players.
The Ultimate Digital Hub
Musical Fidelity recognized that modern listeners often have multiple digital sources, such as streaming boxes, televisions, or computers. To address this, the M6scd features a suite of digital inputs that allow external devices to bypass their own inferior internal converters and utilize the M6scd’s superior 32-bit processing. The rear panel includes two COAX inputs, two Toslink optical inputs, and an asynchronous USB-B input. The asynchronous USB connection is particularly noteworthy for computer audiophiles, as it allows the M6scd to take control of the data timing from the computer, virtually eliminating the jitter that typically degrades PC-based audio.
“Hunky” Build and Sophisticated Design
Consistent with the M6 series aesthetic, the M6scd features a “heroic” build quality. The chassis is a heavy-duty metal construction designed to dampen vibrations and shield sensitive internal components from electromagnetic interference. The front panel is a thick, finely finished aluminum plate available in sleek black or classic silver.
Connectivity is equally impressive, offering both standard single-ended RCA outputs and fully balanced XLR outputs. For those using high-end balanced amplifiers, the XLR connection provides an even lower noise floor and greater dynamic impact. This is a component built not just for the ears, but for longevity, serving as a reliable and aesthetically pleasing cornerstone of a high-end Hi-Fi system for years to come.
