Sonically the M6CD is better than the A5.5CD – particularly in the lower registers. There does not appear to be any drawback in the deletion of the valve stage, it still has that analogue feel that we have come to expect from MF. However the question of value is relevant, as you mentioned there are some deals to be had on the older model, we are currently doing it for $2,695 which makes it exceptionally good value for the money. If you get the chance have a listen to the two units side by side, only you can tell if the improvements in the M6CD are worth the difference. If on the other hand you have digital files that you want to run through the DAC in the M6CD it makes the decision much easier. Firstly the DAC is excellent, and secondly the ability to use it as an external unit would be a bonus. We have been playing around with running the Wadia 170i dock through it, and it works well.

Cheers Hi Len,
