Description
Key Feature
- 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-Analog Converter (DAC). Fixed analog stereo outputs are available in both balanced and unbalanced offerings; a coax and optical output are also available if you prefer to send the digital audio signal to an external DAC, preamplifier, or home theater processor. All analog plus the digital coax outputs are gold-plated or have superior corrosion resistance.
The MCD350 features 2x read speed so that all discs placed in its rigid aluminum die-cast tray are read at higher speeds, allowing their data to be stored 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 that are optimized for SACD and CD playback. The classic McIntosh black glass front panel with an illuminated logo and aluminum end caps completes the unit.
Hear every bit of music on your discs
If your listening room’s shelves are filled with shiny discs — CDs, and especially SACDs — McIntosh’s MCD350 player can provide deeper levels of listening pleasure for everyone. When you slip a disc into the player’s rugged die-cast aluminum tray, you’ll see and feel the McIntosh tradition of superior construction. And of course, the MCD350 upholds its tradition of uncompromising sound quality.
Maximum musical mojo
The MCD350 combines advanced digital and analog technology to extract the maximum amount of music information from your discs. The twin-laser optical pickup has separate laser units optimized for either SACD or CD. Discs are actually spun and read at twice normal speed, allowing the disc data to be stored in a buffer memory for better error correction processing and tracking.
Both fixed and variable balanced and unbalanced analog outputs are available to give you plenty of flexibility when connecting this player to your system. Coaxial and optical digital outputs are provided if you prefer to send the audio signal from your CDs to an external DAC, preamp, or home theater processor with digital inputs.
