M2SCD - CD Player

The M2scd is a top-quality CD player with superb sound.

Like the matching M2si integrated amplifier, the M2scd is designed as serious hi-fi available at a modest price. From the fine fit and finish of its metal casework to the unique technology sitting inside, the M2scd exceeds expectations. The M2scd builds on our years of engineering expertise, uniquely featuring both a mains choke filter and a high-tech digitalstream noise filter. Such innovations enable the player to deliver technical performance; it boasts low distortion and a virtually flat frequency response, plus minimal noise and jitter.

The M2scd's DAC design also draws from its high-end siblings, using cutting-edge technology to ensure excellent data recovery from your discs. Simply put, that means you'll hear more from your music. Reviews say "a very mature and polished performer", which "sounds refined and elegant".

REVIEW & AWARDS

Musical Fidelity M2sCD review - Read More

"The M2sCD presents a refined, enjoyable listen. For those who like a smooth, musical, elegant and highly listenable sound, it’s a fine proposition – easily beating less expensive models for both breadth and clarity.

This player is cleverly positioned between fine budget performers such as Marantz’s CD6006 UK and more premium offerings, including the Cyrus CDi and Quad Artera Play+. There’s little competition at the price, and that makes it an excellent buy if it matches your budget." - What Hi-Fi?

"Heinz Lichtenegger, best know for the Pro-ject brand and who took over the intellectual property of Musical Fidelity in 2018, wanted to rejuvenate the Musical Fidelity brand, build on its reputation and introduce the well-loved brand to a new generation of consumers. I have seen the brand grow from its infancy in 1982 (when it was of an exciting newcomer) to a mature and varied series of world-class electronics to suit all pockets. The newest models here have certainly benefitted from trickle-down technology and offer a lot of its more expensive siblings’ qualities for the budget-conscious music lover. The amp and cd are certainly a good match with each other (of course), but, if used separately, they will still deliver in a well put together and synergistic system." - Ian Ringstead

"For some the DSD option is a must, not for me since 99% of my music is simply not available in the DSD format. The same goes for USB, I need my laptop for typing reviews and prefer to use a dedicated digital music player. But if you want it, the MX-DAC will deliver with pleasure. Combining the MX-DAC with a better power supply will probably add to your listening enjoyment, but it’s not essential, more of an upgrade from a fine product to an even better one. The MX-DAC served my music well and that’s exactly what it was made for." - Adam Smith & Paul Miller

Musical Fidelity M2scd CD player Review - Read More

"The Musical Fidelity M2scd is an impressive if somewhat basic CD player. It partners high-quality CD mechanics with one of the best CD servo systems on the market, adds a fine DAC and well-designed power supply and wraps the lot in a smart, solid enclosure. Given some rival players, particularly those coming out of Japan and from Brits manufacturing in the Far East, it is perhaps not the best value for money proposition in terms of its rather basic electronics. But I can’t fault it sonically, its quality of build is up there with players costing a great deal more, and it has proven to be a solid, reliable machine throughout the review period. Highly recommended."
