Be transported into your music with the MCT500 SACD/CD Transport.
The MCT500 is a digital only unit and features 4 digital outputs: industry standard balanced, coax and optical outputs plus our exclusive MCT connector. To enjoy your CDs, it can be paired with any product thathas standard digital inputs and a digital-to-analog convertor (DAC). This includes select McIntosh home theater processors, integrated amplifiers and preamplifiers.
For SACD playback, the MCT500’s proprietary MCT output needs to be connected (via the included cable) to a McIntosh product with an MCT
input. This includes the D1100, C52, C2600, C47 and D150 preamplifiers, MA9000, MA8900, MA7200 or MA5300 integrated amplifiers or MAC7200
receiver. When the MCT500 is connected to one of these devices, a
secure digital connection is created, allowing for the playback of the
high definition audio found on SACDs. Regular CDs can also be played
over the MCT connection.
All common disc types can be played on the MCT500, including SACD,
CD, CD-R/RW and DVD-R. A twin laser optical pickup assures optimal disc
reading. A USB input is conveniently located on the front panel for easy
access. In addition to store bought CDs and SACDs, popular file formats
such as AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (up to DSD128), FLAC, MP3, WAV (up to
24-bit/192kHz) and WMA can be played from user generated CD or DVD Data
Discs and USB flash drives.1
Disc handling is smooth and quiet thanks to an advanced disc
transport with a precision die-cast aluminum tray. An advanced digital
servo provides fast, quiet and accurate operation. A disc’s audio data
is read at twice the normal rate insuring better disc tracking and error
correction processing.
Integration with other McIntosh system components is achieved via the
Power Control and data ports. The MCT500 is wrapped in classic McIntosh
styling with a polished stainless steel chassis, black glass front
panel, illuminated logo and aluminum end caps.
