Musical Fidelity NOW streams
The modern music lover of today listens to either ANALOGUE sources or STREAMING
SERVICES like Tidal and Spotify. In response, we’ve seen a surge in offerings from HiFi
companies with all-in-one solutions, sometimes with big displays on top. Unfortunately,
such developments are HUGLY EXPENSIVE and on top very maintenance heavy.
Consequently, all manufactures have to SAVE MONEY somewhere:
Cheap plastic cabinets, low-cost digital amplifiers, low-cost power supplies.
Heavy reliance on chips and integrated circuits - meaning components that are insanely difficult to repair or replace and their sonic fidelity pales in comparison to discrete components.
In short: The sound quality suffers!
At Musical Fidelity, we acknowledge that any WiFi or BT circuitry generates a substantial amount of RF pollution and distorts analogue amp circuitry when incorporated into
integrated, one-box solutions.
Musical Fidelity stands for sound quality and robust design that lasts for decades.
We INVEST our money and resources in top-tier hardware and the pursuit of optimal
music reproduction.
This means: Robust mechanics - Discrete circuits - Huge transformers - Class A/B amps.
No HF and RF distortion.
We aim to have the best hardware and sound quality in every price range and make
true high-end affordable. BUT HOW do we fulfill our customer’s needs for streaming?
The answer is straightforward.
Instead of investing millions of euros in a streaming platform (the costs are ultimately
passed on to the customer), we are partnering with one of the best STREAMING SPECIALISTS - the US Californian high-tech company LINKPLAY and their WiiM streamers.
