Offered is „MX-DAC“ by Musical Fidelity as second-hand device from the category „D/A Converter“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 5151171391 ends on 02.11.2026 at 10:35 o'clock.
A €399 ask is a touch under the €404 median and just below the main €388 to €429 middle band, so this reads as fair-to-good value rather than a bargain-basement steal. Compared with the obvious alternative at this money—rolling the dice on a generic modern budget DAC—this is the more serious buy if you want a known, well-regarded unit at sensible used-market money.
The MX DAC has a solid reputation for clean, full-bodied sound, balanced XLR outputs, and broad input support, so it still makes sense for a revealing desktop or secondary system. In good condition at this price, it looks like a straightforward buy, especially if it includes the original power supply and any packaging; those small extras add confidence and resale comfort.
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.
