Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and M1 PWR.. questions

[bigfish786]

i've been looking at these two products, as a potential addition to my current set-up.

does anyone have any knowledge of these products?

the option to use it as a pre-power amp has me interested. is it any good?

can you use spotify with these?

loads of questions, any advice would be welcome.

I don't know anything about the M1 CLiC, exceot what I've read online, but I do have an M1 PWR, which I use with a Sonos Connect (full pre-amp mode) and a pair of Neat Iotas. That would be very similar, in concept at least, to the system you're envisaging.

I think the M1 PWR is pretty good. I demoed it at home against the Naim NAP100 and preferred the MF by quite a margin.

One caveat: the M1 PWR was originally priced at £799, I think, but is now generally available at £499. I'd say it's good value at the lower price but not at the higher.

Hi there,

I have been using both units for the past few years. M1 CLiC is a joy to use. It does not do Spotify but the internet radio station quality on this unit is very good. If you intend to stream music fro NAS, just me sure your music files are compatible.

The M1 PWR needs careful matching of speakers. Its a Class D amp so try demo them before buying. In my experience, it can sound a bit harsh ihe beginning.

If you want to know more, try to do a search on this forum for these 2 items. I believe I have put up reviews on both units.

I can vouch for the M1 PWR and also the M1 SDAC (similar to CLIC, but no streaming). Excellent products, sounds great and well built!
