    amazing, the individual imput to menable the cd player to be used as individual DAC really works well and to use it as a transport with the kw dm25 dac is very good indeed,

    THE M6I review should be out soon, there is a lot of difference "that i can hear" between the 5.5 amp and the m6i, the m6i soounds natural and well cotrolled, it reminds me of vintage m.f., only more of it,

    Thanks for your replay,
    I had a A5-5 Amplifier it sounded very good but had same problems with it so I got some think different but I know what my problems are now, so I know how good there amplifier are.

    I have a A5-5 CDP coming next month and looking at the M6i to go with it but it sound like from you it a different amp not the same as the A5-5. so do you think the M6i is a upgrade from the old A5-5 that I had.

    having listen to the m6i amp i decided to see it's guts, on openig the top cover it was a very nice surprice, it's design as having two monoblocks inside, the pre-amp is also a seperate unit all together, each with their own transformer windings and power supply, it is both two mono blocks and a pre-amp in one box,
    uhmm,

    So it has two transformer inside or is one for the pre/amp. I might buy the M6i when they came over here in Australia it sound from you it is a upgrade from the A5-5 what I was think they only did a face lift on it. I notice the M6i has less wattage then the old A5-5 does this mean it has more current. how many transistors did it have for each channel.

    Thanks Nando
    cheers

    I Found That The M6i And Cd To Be Awesome, It Made Me Think Towards Selling My Kw500, The Complete Sound Takes Me A Back In Time As Sound Does Not Iterfere With Hi-fi,

    CONCLUTION: i hate to say this but i spected a typical run of the mill m.f. instead is the complete opposite, back to the future, just like the wonderfull A1008 amp and cd,

    So you are liking it, so you are saying that the M6i has a different sound vs the Old A5-5 Model If so I will just get M6i and be done with it.

    Am loving my CDP I bought the A5-5 is a awesome player I got this half price so that way I went for the A5-5CDP vs the M6CDP.

    Can you take any pictures of the M6i for me am dieing to see whats is under the hood :)

    Thanks you
