Mycket välljudande och har lovordats för sitt analoga ljud. I mycket fint skick
This is a buyer’s market for entry-level DACs, and the kr5,000 asking price for the used Musical Fidelity MX DAC sits just above the 75th percentile (kr4,776) of recent SEK listings, making it slightly ambitious rather than a clear bargain. The median used price is kr4,374, with the 25th percentile at kr3,636, so kr5,000 is above typical market value but not wildly inflated.
The MX DAC remains well-regarded for its clean 32-bit/192kHz conversion, DSD support, and attractive industrial design, offering technical performance on par with higher-priced converters. Its value lies in delivering balanced analog output with minimal jitter and excellent noise rejection. At this price, it’s a worthwhile buy if the unit is in good condition and includes original accessories, representing a solid upgrade path for streamers or disc-based setups seeking transparency without overspending.
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.
