Outputs

On the rear of the unit are 2 sets of outputs. RCA 
(single ended) and XLR (balanced). 

You can connect the M6SRDAC to your am

plifier

 using 

whichever is more convenient.

mode. Fixed mode is suitable for connection to other 
equipment which offers a volume control. Variable 
mode allows connection directly to power am

plifie

rs 

or active speakers where the M6SRDAC provides the 
volume control.

Choosing between these settings is done by using 
the small switch 

13

 on the back panel. 

When in variable, mode the output level can be 
controled by either the volume knob on the front 
panel 

7

 or the remote control.

Headphones

The M6SRDAC also includes a high quality headphone 
am

plifie

r. 

Connecting headphones to socket 

6

 will automatically 

mute the main outputs. The volume control on the 
front panel 

7

 or the remote control now adjust the 

volume sent to the headphones. 

Whilst headphones are connected the MUTE 
indicator on the front panel will be lit to indicate the 
main outputs are muted.

Note: This USB input has a high-speed serial data 
processor, and by its nature, requires a very high 
volume of USB bandwidth. It will 

benefit

 greatly 

from being the only device connected on its USB 
‘bus’. Sharing the same bus with other devices 
could cause unwanted artifacts such as dropouts 
or temporary loss of signal. This especially 
includes the use of the unit on a USB hub/splitter 
whether alongside other USB components or 
not. A direct connection to the host computer 
by shortest USB 2.0 lead possible is very much 
recommended.

Note: When headphones are connected to 
socket 

6

 and the back panel Fixed/Variable 

output 

13

 is set to variable mode, the volume will 

remain at the volume set by the volume control 
if the headphones are removed.

For  playing  native  DSD  or  running  older  Windows 

operating systems is a driver installation required. 

Driver is supplied on a CD in the packaging of the 

device.

Any device that is compliant to the USB Audio Class 

2.0 standard should also operate with the M6SR-

DAC. However Musical Fidelity are unable to provide 

support for operation with anything other than the 

system listed above.

CD,  MP3,  WAV,  AAC/+,  OGG,  FLAC,  and  any  other 

audio  file  types  played  on  suitable  playback 

software will now play through the unit.
