M3CD (DISCONTINUED) - Design and Build

The M3CD offers an elegance and excellence of build and finish that belies its price. As with the M3i, its front panel is a custom-made extrusion of solid metal, with matching metal volume knob and buttons.

The CD player's performance is engineered to be equally smooth, serene, and structured – without colouring the sound. As Hi-Fi World's review confirmed: "It's best described as clean, open and detailed, with a pleasant lilting musicality, underlined by a strong backbone".

We believe the first step to achieving such musicality is excellent technical performance; the M3CD is packed with exclusive innovation that successfully minimizes distortion, noise and jitter.

The player uniquely features both a high-tech digital-stream noise filter and a mains choke filter. The mains choke  - first developed for our mighty Titan power amp - removes unwanted mains interference and maximizes the efficiency of the M3CD's five independent power supply units.

The M3CD uses an advanced, dual-differential DAC design that offers eight-times oversampling. This is fed from the player's high-quality, slot-loading CD transport, which smoothly handles your disc collection. This DAC and transport combination delivers greater accuracy, enabling you to hear more from your favourite CDs.

The perfect partner for the M3CD is, of course, the matching M3i integrated amplifier. You can simply pair them via a line-level connection and control them both from a single handset.
