Musical Fidelity stands for sound quality and robust design that lasts for decades. We INVEST our money and resources in top-tier hardware and the pursuit of optimal music reproduction. This means: Robust mechanics - Discrete circuits - Huge transformers - Class A\/B amps. Fast moving streaming technology is best kept separate and therefore will not negatively impact the lifecycle of the B1xi.
