M5Si
The other new release from Musical
Fidelity is the M5Si integrated amplifier.
This unit fills the gap between the
M3Si and M6Si. Like all Musical Fidelity
amplifiers this is an excellent product,
and offers great value for money.
Meticulously built, the M5Si is rated
at 150 watts/channel and consists of
two independent mono-block power

valve circuitry. It is also a very high


quality 32-bit DAC, featuring two


coaxial and two optical digital inputs.


Like most high performance source units


these days it offers both balance and


single-ended outputs.


We have a great number of clients

who have extensive CD collections, and


who still play them regularly. For a lucky


few this may be the last opportunity to


own a truly marvellous player.


amplifiers and separate pre-amp, all
on a single PCB. It incorporates a
24-bit/96kHz DAC accessed via USB
input, and has a phono input as well.
Musical Fidelity amplifiers are
historically excellent performers,
and the M5Si is no exception. It is a
welcome addition, filling what has
been a hole in the range for some time.
The M5Si sells for $3,695.

The Nu-Vista CD player is also a very


high quality 32-bit DAC, featuring


two coaxial and two optical inputs.
