Musical Fidelity MX-Stream is a high quality hi-fi streamer designed to be a purist and no compromise solution for music streaming with Bluetooth, HDMi, CD Rip option and Roon Certified 

Audio performance
Musical Fidelity have one aim getting the best possible sound from the best components. A long lifetime is guaranteed and many MF classic designs are still in use generations later. The design philosophy of the MX streamer follows the same path

Control and compatibilty options
The MX stream can be controlled in two main ways via a smartphone app or via a touchscreen monitor connected to the provided HDMI output. There is support for all lossless high-resolution streaming services built in. The latest Bluetooth technology improves the sound, streaming from your phone. Shareport is also installed so that you can use your iOS-devices.

Still have CD's?
This top-end Hi-Fi streamer can rip CD's when connected to an external USB storage device, and it will also automatically tag songs for music library indexing. This feature makes for a very versatile unit. You will need an external CD drive. Additionally, the unit can be connected to a NAS or network attached storage. This is useful if you have a collection of Ripped CD files or hi-res audio files.

Separation of components
For the very best possible audio experience you should separate all the components of a modern state-of-the-art system. Some streamers contain a DAC creating possible interference. The MX Stream is a stand alone device. Keeping digital and analogue circuits separate removes ant chance of high frequency distortion.

No magnetic fields from power amp transformers.
Another source of sound degradation is the magnetic interference associated with pre and power amp power supplies. Having the digital streamline front-end well away from high power analogue circuits also sweetens the sound.

Top quality components
A long lifetime is guaranteed by using top quality components. Metal film resistors and hi-grade capacitors will not degrade or change value with time. 
The MX streamer uses a low noise regulator to prevent any noise from entering the audio stream. There is also additional onboard PSU filtering using capacitors that will not leak electrolyte. Another source of noise is the clock generator. In this design the clock is isolated

Long life
Long life and future proofing is guaranteed by using an architecture that is open source. The unit can run any open source software making upgrades easy. The revolutionary design will always be up to date. That being said you can just plug and play this 1: 1 perfect streamer and you are ready to go. Connect your choice of USB DAC and the onboard operating system takes care of the rest.

Why use a dedicated streamer?
Yes you can use a computer or smartphone to stream music, but is this the optimal experience? A computer or smartphone is an-all-in-one device that is designed to do many things well but isn't purely designed for optimised music streaming. The MX-Stream is designed to do one thing well - stream your music.
Additionally, convenience is a factor, with the MX streamer all of your music is in one place with a single control interface and library.

MX-DAC with DSD, with its technical innovation, superb technical performance and excellent build quality, the new MX DAC offers truly outstanding value for money.

The MX-DAC is a tremendous performer. 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.

Also, all inputs whether from coax, optical or USB, are processed in the DSD domain. This desirable feature gives a warmth and humanity to the sound that simple digital conversion doesn’t achieve.

The MX DAC has both single ended and balanced outputs.

The new MX range has beautiful aesthetics and wonderful build quality. The front panel and housing are both from exclusive custom-made extrusions using mil-spec aluminium.
