NuVista tube CD player deal
List $10.000
Sale $4999.00 delivered
The Nu-Vista CD is the perfect match for any state of the art system.
It is also a DAC with 2 coaxial and 2 optical inputs with both coaxial & optical outputs,
NuVista tubes can give you up to 25,000 hours of use. Nuvista tubes offer very high reliability, low microphony, low noise, consistency from batch to batch, small size, relatively low power consumption and great technical performance.
The CD Player was designed to compete with far more expensive competition.
It has impeccable technical performance. Very low distortion, very low noise, excellent linearity and superlative phase response.
But the important thing is the sound. Just like the Nu-Vista 800 the Nu-Vista CD player produces an exquisite warm, full sound stage that is at once convincing and enveloping. It is utterly neutral and faithful to what’s on the disc but transmits it with a delicacy of sensibility and firmness of musical communication that is a joy to hear.
You can hear everything that was recorded but with a backlit and sort of glowing quality that makes the music almost jump alive in front of you.
The Nu-Vista series are a passionate labor of love at Musical Fidelity. They consider it the ultimate expression of their art.

M3CD
$1,599.00
"Yet still, the M3sCD more closely resembles a high-end CD player that's shrunk in the wash, than a cheap machine in an expensive suit. It sounds far better than it has a right to be at the price, with no obvious failings whatsoever. Don't be dissuaded by the fact that Musical Fidelity isn't especially renowned for Compact Disc, then. This is a great machine and to my ears the class-of-the-field at this price point right now."

The M3scd has been designed to give outstanding CD reproduction and to be a digital hub.
In addition to CD it has 3 digital inputs: coax, optical and asynchronous USB. This makes it particularly useful for set top boxes and/or TV sound improvement. The technical performance is excellent; it has very low distortion, extremely low jitter, excellent signal-to-noise ratio, extremely flat frequency response, exemplary linearity and excellent channel separation.
All in all the M3scd gives excellent CD replay and can act as a versatile digital hub at the same time.

M3X Vinyl
$1,599.00
The M3x ViNYL is a phono stage, designed to be without any practical limits. Connectivity is straight forward. You have an input and an output.
The M3x Vinyl also uses a completely new power supply design, which was customed designed for the exact needs of a phono stage. Phono stages perform better the less electromagnetic radiation there is in the immediate surroundings of the phono stage circuitry. Huge transformers are required for big power amps, but not for the micro volt levels in a phono stage! The custom designed low core saturation toroidal transformer together with the huge distance from the PSU to the phono stage amplification circuitry, which was achieved by ways of the big chassis design of the M3x Vinyl, allowed MF to build a phono stage that is out of competition in this price range.
Neither input < MM or MC, can be over-loaded at the input or limited in the output driving capacity. It can be set for either MM or MC and exact loading. It offers state-of-the art technical and sonic performance just like the M6x ViNYL, but at a cheaper entry level to the epitome of the true spirit of high-end audio.
- MM and MC input
- Split Passive RIAA and DECA EQ
- Fully discrete circuit board design
- Special low core saturation toroidal transformer
- Minimal electromagnetic interference
- Made in the EU
- Black finish
Balanced DAC
$749.00
The MX-DAC is a tremendous performer. All inputs whether from coax, optical or USB, are processed in the DSD domain. It has ultra low distortion, very wide bandwidth and low noise. The technical performance of the MX-DAC is on a par with any other DAC at any price. Jitter is about 12pps, s/n ratio is -116dB (‘A’ weighted), linearity is +0.2dB at -116dB, stereo separation is -104dB at 1kHz, frequency response is ruler flat and distortion is 0.00025% at 1kHz and 0.0003% at 20kHz. These technical figures are state-of-the-art and show that our implementation is almost perfect, to ensure completely neutral and accurate digital-to-analogue conversion of any digital input.
The MX DAC has inputs for: 2 x coax (up to 24bit 192 kHz PCM), 2 x optical (up to 24bit 192kHz PCM) and asynchronous USB up to 24bit 192 kHz PCM as well as DSD 64 and DSD 128.
- Superlative state of the art performance with ultra-flat frequency response
- Able to process DSD64 and DSD128 formats as well as PCM up to 192kHz / 24bit
- Multiple digital inputs – 2 x coax, 2 x optical, and asynchronous USB
- All inputs processed and converted in DSD domain
- Very low noise
- Extremely low distortion
- Outstanding linearity
- Outstanding channel separation
