MCD350 2-Channel SACD/CD Player

MCD350: £6995

  • 2-Channel, 32-bit/192kHz DAC

  • Fixed analog stereo outputs

The MCD350 SACD/CD Player delivers a pure playback experience from your SACDs and CDs.

It features a balanced 2-channel, 32-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converter (DAC). Fixed analogue stereo outputs, in balanced and unbalanced offerings, are available. If you prefer to send the digital audio signal to an external DAC, preamplifier, or home theatre processor, a coax and optical output are also available. All analogue and digital coax outputs are gold-plated for superior corrosion resistance.

"Definitive with SACD and impressive with CD too." Awarded 5 out of 5 Globes. - Hi-Fi World

The MCD350 features 2x read speed so that all discs placed in its rigid aluminium die-cast tray are read at higher speeds, storing their data in a buffer memory for better error correction and tracking. A twin laser optical pickup uses a single objective lens with two laser units, each employing different wavelengths optimized for SACD and CD playback. The unit is complete with the classic McIntosh black glass front panel with an illuminated logo and aluminium end caps.
