Musical Fidelity has always been driven by a vision to create musically pleasing audio products that can maintain this standard of fidelity for many generations to come. Many MF classics are still in the hands of their proud owners and have proven the success of our design philosophy.

The MX-Stream was developed with the same goal in mind as everything else at Musical Fidelity. Technically correct design that not only measures like a dream, but sounds like one too. To stay true to the original spirit of Musical Fidelity, it has to have our warm but transparent and incredibly detailed signature sound and not just be technical wizardry to provide clean technical measurements. We need to hear it, we need to feel it and we need to be moved by it.
There are audio products from the past that didn't necessarily perform that well, but people learned to love them anyway. This can be achieved even with near-perfect technical specifications and the same dedication to the actual perceptible sound qualities. And that's exactly what Musical Fidelity has always done.
As a result, these audio devices are elevated to the highest level and become true entry-level affordable, high-quality high-end devices. The MX-Stream is another prime example of our long-standing design philosophy.

Our MX-Stream is a universal, transport-only network device that can bring any online or network streaming service to your integrated amplifier or DAC. All you need is an existing class 2.0 USB audio input and the MX-Stream's digital audio circuitry is a completely new development. A large part of the case is dedicated to the extensive power supply section. We have power supplies and high quality voltage stabilization components for all the different PCB units. We have advanced re-clocking - even the main CPU is driven by a clock optimized for audio, which is completely uncommon in typical streaming solutions as they usually use standard CPU clocks like normal computers. Every incoming digital signal is cleaned from the start. All incoming and outgoing audio files are as good as possible as all unwanted noise that can occur with traditional streaming solutions is eliminated. With optimized software, we were able to push this high-tech hardware design to its absolute limits. All this resulted in the first streamer with almost zero jitter that we have ever seen.

Its design makes it future-proof by keeping the architecture open. In 10 years, your MX stream will be just as relevant as it is today because it can run any open source software you want and can throw at it. It will use the same revolutionary hardware design and continue to be the perfect streaming transport. Of course, for now you can just unpack and set up the device, it's plug-and-play ready and you can start streaming right away. The integrated operating system and playback software are set up by default to enable bit-perfect digital audio transfers 1:1 to the USB DAC of your choice right from the start. You don't have to worry about a thing, we've taken care of all the technology and configuration for you. You can enjoy the unmistakable sound of Musical Fidelity without having to know anything about digital audio technology. However, advanced options are available for experienced users to customize the experience to their exact requirements and gain full and transparent control over their system. High-end quality at your fingertips.

The MX stream can be controlled via a mobile app in any web browser and HDMI and touchscreens can be connected to provide a full, haptic touchscreen experience. Full Roon-Ready certification, support for all lossless high-resolution streaming services currently available and high-resolution formats (up to 32-bit/384 kHz and DSD256) as well as standard networking features such as NAS support, USB hard disk support, UPNP/DLNA, Bluetooth, Shareport (for iOS devices), web radio, CD ripping with automatic tag creation and automatic music library indexing provide unparalleled versatility.

As a standalone device, the MX-Stream is the perfect complement to any integrated amplifier or DAC with a USB-B input. Not only is the technology in the MX-Stream state of the art, but each analog circuit in integrated analog amplifiers exhibits higher performance when digital circuits and power supplies are separated from the analog circuits. By inserting many digital circuits, additional high-frequency distortion can be observed throughout the system. Conversely, large power supplies for preamplifiers and power amplifiers with a lot of magnetic radiation have a negative effect on the performance of digital circuits. By separating streaming and amplification, we can realize our vision of true high-end sound with greater impact and at a more affordable cost, while guaranteeing the longest lifespan for our amplifiers and streamers.
