Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity
M6s DAC.
The M6s DAC consists of four stereo 32 bit DACs
arranged in a fully differential (balanced) dual
mono topology. It also features a top quality over
sampling 32 bit sample rate converter circuit, which
asynchronously up-samples all incoming data rates
to 768 kHz internally.
This moves the digital artefacts to well outside the
audio band, allowing easy removal without detriment
to the top end of the audio band. Our well tuned
ltering circuit gives immeasurably small jitter, noise
and distortion artefacts allowing astounding imaging,
detail and transparency, to deliver all music types
exactly as the artist originally intended.
This revised design now takes into account different
sampling frequencies with the upper bandwidth now
extending to 90 kHz for 384 kHz natively sampled
input signals.
The M6s DAC fully asynchronous USB input copes
with PCM inputs up to 32-bit 384 kHz sample rate
and DSD 128. This takes full advantage of the higher
quality recordings now available. It works with all
personal computers running Microsoft Windows,
Linux and Mac OS.
The M6s DAC has been carefully designed to be
partnered with other M3 and M6 products. Using
any of these combinations will yield one of the best
high-delity systems available at any price.
Used carefully, it should give many years of
outstanding musical reproduction.
If there are any questions about the audio system,
please consult the dealer who is there to help and
advise.

Safety Information
This unit is supplied in the U.K. with a mains lead
tted with a moulded 13 amp plug. If, for any reason,
it is necessary to remove the plug, please remove
the fuse holder and dispose of the plug safely, out of

Blue .......................................................... Neutral
Brown .............................................................Live
WARNING - This appliance MUST be earthed.
As the colours of the wires of the mains lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in the plug,
proceed as follows:
•
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must
be connected to the terminal in the plug which
is marked with the letter E or coloured green or
green-and-yellow, or by the earth symbol:
•
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter L or coloured red.
•
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked with
the letter N or coloured black.
• If connecting to a BS1363 plug, a 13 amp fuse
must be used.
Precautions & User Information
This new M6s DAC is designed and built to provide
trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic
devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:
•
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the
product.
•
Only connect the M6s DAC to a mains outlet
having the same voltage as marked at the back
of the unit.
•
Always ensure that when disconnecting and
reconnecting your audio equipment the mains
supply is switched off.
•
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects
where they are not likely to be walked on or
trapped by items placed on them.
•
Do not use near water, or place water-filled
containers on the M6s DAC, for example, a ower
vase or potted plants. If water does spill inside,
immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall
socket and inform the dealer, who should then
check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid
into the M6s DAC is dangerous, and may cause
electric shock or re hazard.
•
Do not place the unit near direct heat sources
such as radiators, direct sunlight or other
equipment.
•
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access
to the inside. There are no user adjustments or
fuses to change without qualication. Refer all
service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity
agent.
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment are
complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected
or damaged by lightning. For protection of the audio
system during electrical storms, remove the mains
plugs.
If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer
identify the M6s DAC please quote the serial number
located on the rear panel of the unit.
Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment
will invalidate any warranty claim.
WARNING: Any modications to this product not
expressly approved by Musical Fidelity who is
the party responsible for standards compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment.
