Precautions & User Information

This new M6s DAC is designed and built to provide 
trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic 
devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:

•  Heed all warnings shown on the back of the 

product .

•  Only connect the M6s DAC to a mains outlet 

having the same voltage as marked at the back 
of the unit .

•  Always ensure that when disconnecting and 

reconnecting your audio equipment the mains 
supply is switched off .

•  Position the mains lead and signal interconnects 

where they are not likely to be walked on or 
trapped by items placed on them .

•  Do not use near water, or place water-filled 

containers on the M6s DAC, for example, a flower 

vase or potted plants . If water does spill inside, 
immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall 
socket and inform the dealer, who should then 
check the unit before further use . Entry of liquid 
into the M6s DAC is dangerous, and may cause 

electric shock or fire hazard.

•  Do not place the unit near direct heat sources 

such as radiators, direct sunlight or other 
equipment .

•  Do not remove any covers or try to gain access 

to the inside. There are no user adjustments or 
fuses to change without qualification. Refer all 

service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity 
agent .

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment are 
complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected 
or damaged by lightning . For protection of the audio 
system during electrical storms, remove the mains 
plugs . 

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer 
identify the M6s DAC please quote the serial number 
located on the rear panel of the unit .

Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment 
will invalidate any warranty claim .

WARNING: Any modifications to this product not 

expressly approved by Musical Fidelity who is 
the party responsible for standards compliance 
could void the user’s authority to operate this 
equipment .
