MUSICAL FIDELITY M3SCD

The Musical Fidelity M3scd is a CD player designed with a dual purpose: to deliver outstanding compact disc playback and to serve as a digital hub for external sources.

Thanks to the inclusion of three digital inputs – coaxial, optical, and asynchronous USB – the player integrates seamlessly into any modern audio system, making it especially useful for enhancing the sound of devices like set-top boxes or televisions. Its internal architecture is engineered for top-tier technical performance: distortion is kept to an absolute minimum, jitter is virtually non-existent, the signal-to-noise ratio reaches exceptionally high levels, and the frequency response remains perfectly linear across the entire audible range. Added to this are impeccable linearity and excellent channel separation, which contribute to a detailed and lifelike soundstage. Build quality is in line with the brand’s tradition, combining refined design with practical elegance and robust materials. The M3scd thus presents itself not only as an excellent choice for CD enthusiasts, but also as a refined and versatile digital reference point within a contemporary Hi-Fi system.
