Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity AMSCD player.
The AMSCD is a CD player that is also useable as a top quality DAC for other digital sources. It features separately
selectable SPDIF and optical inputs to allow other sources such as DAB radio, Minidisk, DAT etc. to take advantage
of the top quality up-sampling digital to analogue conversion circuits within. This will free up analogue inputs on the
following amplifier and obtain the absolute best in audio quality from the digital source.
The AMSCD consists of a top quality CD loading mechanism with unsurpassed playability and a top quality quad
differential up-sampling 24 bit balanced digital-to-analogue converter. This moves the digital artefacts to well outside
the audio band, allowing easy removal without detriment to the top end of the audio band. Our well tuned balanced
filtering circuit gives immeasurably small jitter, noise and distortion artefacts allowing astounding imaging, detail and
transparency, to deliver all music types exactly as the artist originally intended.
The AMSCD is designed to be partnered with present and future AMS or Primo series products. This combination
yields one of the best high-fidelity systems available at any price.
Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish.
If there are any questions about the audio system, please consult the dealer who is there to help and advise.
