The McIntosh MCD500 SACD/CD Player with Digital Inputs combines exceptional sound quality and flexibility with a unique parallel DAC topology. Four 24-Bit, 192 kHz
PCM/DSD digital to analog converters per channel are arranged in a differential balanced configuration enabling a more faithful reproduction of the analog waveform resulting in outstanding fidelity with very low noise and distortion. The superior low-level linearity achieved by this design reveals extraordinary detail for the kind of transparency normally experienced only during live musical events.
Coaxial and Optical digital inputs allow the use of this extraordinary digital front end with external digital audio sources; everything from music servers to portable music players can benefit. Additionally, all internal clocks are generated by a phase-locked loop generator yielding stable, low jitter operation for truly error-free performance.
The MCD500 analog stages employ a differential balanced topology for wide dynamic range and the best possible fidelity. Both fixed and variable outputs are supported and a dedicated high-performance headphone amplifier with 1/4” jack is provided.
Parallel DAC Topology
Four DACs per channel are arranged in a balanced parallel configuration for the most accurate reconstruction of the analog waveform.
Digital Inputs
Two selectable digital inputs are provided for use with external digital sources like the MS750 Music Server. Indeed, the MCD500 has the potential to improve the sound of any digital music source.
Drive Mechanism
Die-cast, wrap-around chassis with a steel top cover dampens resonances for silent, error free operation disc reading.
Disc Reading
CDs are read into buffer memory at 2X normal speed for enhanced accuracy.
Power Supply
A premium linear power supply features an R-Core transformer and nested regulation providing super stable DC voltage as required by the high performance digital circuits utilized.
