Musical Fidelity X-DACv8


Anyone heard or own one yet?

My local dealer told me last week that
the price officially dropped from $1800 msrp
to $1200. It has a USB input.

The X-DACv8 is now msrp $1500, not $1200.
( A little bit of confusion about the price last week. )
Ordered mine today from my local dealer.
Predicted delivery in about 6 weeks. ( US )

I contacted a dealer about this and got this reply:
"I believe the retail is $1500. But it will need the Triple X power supply to operate which is $600."

Hm, interesting. Not sure. But it doesn't read that way
in the owner's manual PDF ( available on M.F. site ).
The diagram of the back side appears to have a
typical mains 3 prong male, too.

From the manual:

"The X-DAC is powered directly from mains, and will also
happily supply power for the X-RAYV8 CD player and
X- PLORAV8 tuner components."

I will verify this with my dealer next week.

Well, this is confusing, but I think I've figured it out.
The x-DAC v8 does not need an external power supply.

Here goes .....

100 / 115 / 230Volts AC 50/60Hz (factory pre-set)"
