McIntosh MCD12000AC

Bring your digital music to life with the MCD12000 SACD/CD player. Although the MCD12000 is classified as a CD player, it should be viewed more as a reference-level digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that also offers reference-level SACD/CD playback capabilities.

At the heart of the MCD12000 are two ESS SABER PRO ES9038PRO 32-bit/8-channel DACs, with one DAC each responsible for the left and right audio channels. Music played through any of the MCD12000's digital inputs or from CDs is processed by these professional grade DACs, designed for audiophile excellence and recording studios.

Contains seven digital inputs. The coaxial and optical inputs support up to 24-bit/192kHz. The USB input supports up to 32-bit/384kHz as well as DSD512 and DXD384kHz.

Offers both balanced and unbalanced analog outputs in both solid state and vacuum tube configurations. This wealth of output options gives you the flexibility to choose which to use based on your music selection, the audio components in your home audio system, and your personal sound preferences.

All outputs are driven by discrete amplifiers or a mix of vacuum tubes and discrete amplifiers. In the case of the tube output, a 12AT7 and a 12AX7A tube are assigned to the left and right audio channel. Solid-state output is through a discrete balanced op amp.

While volume is being controlled by your preamp, integrated amplifier or other control device, the MCD12000's meters will respond to the music being played and move back and forth accordingly.

The MCD12000 AC is part of McIntosh 's 'Next Generation Devices' and visually forms a fantastically beautiful combination with the new tube/transistor preamplifier C12000 AC, or with the reference integrated amplifier MA12000 AC.
