At the heart of the MCD12000<\/strong> are two ESS SABRE PRO ES9038PRO 32-bit\/8-channel DACs, with one DAC dedicated to the left audio channel, and the other DAC dedicated to the right audio channel. Each DAC uses ESS\u2019 patented HyperStream\u00ae II architecture and Time Domain Jitter Eliminator to deliver an unprecedented performance level that will satisfy the needs of the most demanding digital audio applications. Each ES9038PRO is configured in Octal-Balanced Mono mode where the DAC\u2019s eight outputs are used to drive the analog audio, resulting in outstanding sound quality. Separate digital and analog power supplies keep the power and audio signals free from cross contamination, while a specially constructed R-Core power transformer minimizes noise radiation.<\/p>\n

There are seven digital inputs on the MCD12000<\/strong>: two coax, two optical, plus one USB (Type B) for computer based audio, one AES\/EBU, and one MCT input which can be used with any of our existing MCT SACD\/CD Transports that you may already have. The coax and optical inputs support up to 24-bit\/192kHz. The USB input supports up to 32-bit\/384kHz, as well as DSD512 and DXD384kHz.<\/p>\n

The MCD12000<\/strong> includes our Hybrid Drive\u2122 technology that uses the best of vacuum tubes and solid state to produce the best sound performance. It offers both balanced and unbalanced fixed analog outputs in both vacuum tube and solid state configurations. This abundance of output options gives you the flexibility to decide which to use based on the music selection, the audio components in the rest of your home audio system, and your personal sound preferences. A pair of 60dB output meters show the signal level that\u2019s being delivered from the analog outputs of each channel. While the volume is controlled by your preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or other control device, the meters on the MCD12000<\/strong> will respond to the music being played through it and move back and forth accordingly.<\/p>\n

All outputs are driven by discrete amplifiers or a blend of vacuum tubes and discrete amplifiers. For vacuum tube output, one 12AT7 tube and one 12AX7A tube are assigned to each the left and right audio channel. Solid state output is via a discrete balanced op-amp. A digital coax and optical output are included for added flexibility to connect the MCD12000<\/strong> to the rest of your home audio system.<\/p>\n

In addition to commercial SACDs and CDs, the MCD12000<\/strong> can also play music from user generated CDs or DVD Data Discs. Numerous file formats can be played from these discs including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (up to DSD128), FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. A twin laser optical pickup assures optimal reading of all common disc types. The disc transport has a precision die-cast aluminum tray that provides smooth and quiet disc handling, while an advanced digital servo provides fast, quiet and accurate operation. The disc\u2019s audio data is read at twice the normal rate ensuring better disc tracking and error correction processing. Power Control and data ports allow for seamless Integration with other McIntosh<\/strong> system components.<\/p>\n

The Digital-to-Analog convertor (DAC) in the MCD12000<\/strong> has received Roon Tested designation from Roon Labs, which can be especially useful if you have an extensive library of digital music. As a Roon Tested partner, McIntosh<\/strong> has provided equipment to Roon for testing with a variety of different operating systems and computers, and shared information about its design and capabilities.<\/p>\n

Bring all your digital music to life in your home audio system with the MCD12000<\/strong> SACD\/CD Player. While classified as a CD player, it is better to think of the MCD12000<\/strong> as a reference level Digital-to-Analog convertor (DAC) that includes reference level SACD\/CD playback capabilities. Music played through any of the MCD12000\u2019s<\/strong> digital inputs or from compact discs is processed by professional grade 8-channel DAC\u2019s designed for premium audiophile performance and recording studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":55974,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[858],"product_cat":[319],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-55970","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-mcintosh","7":"product_cat-cd-players-transports","9":"first","10":"instock","11":"taxable","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/55970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/55970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55974"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=55970"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=55970"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/et\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=55970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
