Dear customer,
Thank you for purchasing YOUNG MKIV. You are the owner of a very high quality digital-to-
analog converter with many unique features designed to obtain the best performance in
every hi-fi system.
YOUNG MKIV implements a specific set of technological and functional solutions, from the
®
asynchronous USB interface, to the MQA decoder on all inputs, to passive anti-alias
filtering, to the ability of delivering a high output level with the purpose of exalting sonic
performances, ease of use and reliability. Moreover, YOUNG MKIV shares many features
with preamplifiers, therefore it is recommended to directly drive power amplifiers
YOUNG MKIV is provided with a complete set of digital and analogue inputs, to allow for
® ®
using every kind of source. The Bluetooth receiver with aptX decoder makes high-quality
music streaming from your smartphone or tablet straightforward.
The balanced and single-ended outputs allow for driving every kind of amplifier. The ability
of setting the maximum output level to two values ensures that the maximum power will be
reached even with the most inefficient tube amplifier whenever the YOUNG MKIV is used as
a preamplifier.
The fully-loaded remote control allows for total control of both YOUNG MKIV and most audio
players running on the computer attached to its USB input, as well as other M2Tech
Rockstars series products.
We're sure that your expectations will be fulfilled by purchasing YOUNG MKIV: you'll hear
your favourite music as never before, so you can now prepare for a whole new listening
experience!
