Hi all,
Apologies if this replicates an existing thread but just got this reply in response to a query to the NA availability of the X-Can V8p. Here goes:
In June, Musical Fidelity will introduce the M1 DAC, which is more than just an improved version of the V-DAC. It’s housed in a new, sleek chassis that is actually ½ the width, and the exact height, of the new M3-series. It has a robust linear power supply built into the unit and a detachable power cord. It has four switchable digital inputs on XLR, RCA coax, optical, and USB, and both balanced and single-ended outputs.
Its overall technical performance exceeds that of the V-DAC: better signal-to-noise ratio, lower jitter, and a low, 50ohm output impedance with healthy 4.4V output voltage that should drive any preamplifier in existence. It will also accept up to 24bit/192kHz source material via RCA coax and AES/EBU.
Following the M1 DAC, and available toward the end of the summer, will be the M1 HPA Pure Class-A Headphone Amplifier, housed again in the same new, ½-width M1 chassis. For those who’ve experienced the gorgeous Class-A AMS-series, you have a pretty good idea what this little honey will sound like: rich, full, and smooth, but with resolution and grip that is really out of this world. Naturally this all comes along with great technical performance: low noise, flat response... all the things you’ve come to expect from Musical Fidelity.
I've heard the integrated this HPA will be based on and it's very good. Anyway, an interesting new contender perhaps.
best,
o
