At £641, this sits below the £706 25th percentile for recent GBP comparables, so it reads as a strong buy rather than merely fair. It is also comfortably under the £767 median, which gives you some cushion if the seller is firm or if you need to budget for a sensible check-up.
That makes sense for a Musical Fidelity M6s DAC: these are well-regarded for a clean, spacious, low-fatigue presentation with enough resolution to show off a good digital front end without sounding clinical. If the unit is complete and functioning properly, the upside is straightforward — a respected high-end DAC at a price that looks meaningfully under market, with the main thing to verify being basic operational health and that the inputs, display, and remote all work as they should.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Musical Fidelity, a British hi-fi icon, traces its roots to 1982 when clarinettist and audio enthusiast Antony Michaelson founded the company in London. Disillusioned with the sound quality of existing gear after his stint at predecessor Michaelson & Austin, he handcrafted his debut product—a minimalist preamplifier dubbed "The Preamp"—on his kitchen table. Paired with the quirky Dr. Thomas power amplifier, these designs disrupted the market with their bold aesthetics and sonic punch, establishing Michaelson’s experimental ethos from the outset.
The brand has long centered on amplifiers as its cornerstone, spanning integrated, power, phono, headphone, and preamp models renowned for Class-AB topology and innovative touches like Nuvistor tubes. It expanded into streaming players, DACs, CD players, Bluetooth receivers, all-in-one systems, and even headphones and turntables, always prioritizing musicality over convention. Unconventional industrial designs, from curved heatsinks to sculptural panels, became signatures, influencing competitors.
Positioned firmly in the high-end arena, Musical Fidelity commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its value-driven performance and soulful sound. Iconic models like the A1 and F-series endure as collector favorites, blending accessibility with premium engineering. Acquired by Austria’s Audio Tuning in 2018, it continues evolving under new stewardship while honoring its heritage as a boutique force in British hi-fi.
