DAC technology along with clock and data re-timing
circuitry and a highly stable CMOS oscillator master
clock to achieve an excellent technical and sonic
performance.
The X-RAY’s exceptionally low jitter gives both improved
sound quality and very consistent results from disc to disc.
In addition, for this model Musical Fidelity developed a
sophisticated linear phase 5 pole analogue filter which is
situated after the Digital to Analog converter to remove
nearly all digital artefacts above the audio band.
This greatly reduces the spurious noise and aliasing
breakthrough inherent in the CD process giving improved
sound quality and consistent results with a wide range of
amplifiers.
