Musical Fidelity M5 Si
MPN #M5-SI
Integrated amplifier.
The M5si is a real high end amplifier. At 150wpc, with high current delivery, it will drive virtually any loudspeaker easily. It has inputs for phono (MM), 4 line inputs and USB ?B' up to 24bit 96 kHz.
Fully Discrete Power Amplifier
With very low distortion, outstanding noise ratio and an extremely flat frequency response, it is configured as two independent monoblocs with a separate preamp, but all mounted on one pcb. Its technical performance is about equal to the M6si. The M5si produces an extraordinary sweet clear lucid sound. Significantly it was developed after our amazing legendary Nu-Vista 800. Consequently some of the Nu-Vista 800's subtle pcb layout solutions have found their way into the M5si. And in turn those solutions stem from our legendary TITAN power amp.
The Musical Fidelity Design-Philosophy
Further flexibility is provided by the M5si?s carefully considered connectivity, which includes 4 line-level inputs, a switchable home-theatre throughput, a USB input, a high quality MM phono stage and trigger in & outputs. When you hear it we are sure you will understand the relationship between the two. The M5si projects a deep and wide stereo image with very extended bass and a crystalline top end without a trace of harshness.
Musical Fidelity NOW streams
We've seen a surge in offerings from HiFi companies with all-in-one solutions, sometimes with big displays on top. Unfortunately, such developments mean that sound quality suffers. At Musical Fidelity, we acknowledge that any WiFi or BT circuitry generates a substantial amount of RF pollution and distorts analogue amp circuitry when incorporated into integrated, one-box solutions.
Musical Fidelity stands for sound quality and robust design that lasts for decades.
We INVEST our money and resources in top-tier hardware and the pursuit of optimal music reproduction.
Robust mechanics - Discrete circuits - Huge transformers - Class A/B amps.
No HF and RF distortion.
We aim to have the best hardware and sound quality in every price range and make true high-end affordable.
We are partnering with one of the best STREAMING SPECIALISTS - the US Californian high-tech company LINKPLAY.
The M5si Stream includes a free WiiM Pro.
The separate box and separate power supply ensure that we reduce RF and HF radiation and we can keep our analog amplifier technology as good as it is. LINKPLAY offers state-of-the-art technology, seamlessly compatible with any contemporary streaming service on the market, all navigable through an INTUITIVE and user-friendly APP. Moreover, their consistent maintenance and software updates ensure an optimal user experience.
