Musical Fidelity X-PLORA v8 DAB/FM Tuner
This model
uses the very latest DAB/FM radio text receiver to achieve excellent technical
specification and unparalleled broadcast sound quality, a perfect answer to
digital and analogue tuner requirements in a small, beautifully engineered
package.
The X-PLORA V8 is an advanced DAB/FM receiver with radio text features for FM.
Its case design complements the
X-V8 series components which include an
Integrated amplifier and CD player all in the same convenient size.
The tuner is designed to bring DAB into the realms of hi-fidelity sound
reproduction to complement the very latest technology DAB/FM receiver circuit.
Great attention has been paid to internal layout, isolating each circuit
section to prevent possible interaction. The result is a DAB/FM tuner which has
a smoother response than previously possible with none of the “hardness” of
other units.
The resultant performance achieved by this unit is among the best in the world.
It has excellent signal to noise ratio, low distortion, extraordinary resolution
and fine detail
This unit must be connected to a Musical Fidelity power supply unit such as the
TRIPLE-X or TRIPLE-X170 PSU.
