{"product_id":"mci-mcd500-ze1361","title":"McIntosh MCD500 SACD \/ CD Player","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe MCD500 was McIntosh's reference disc player for several years, and it earned that position. It plays SACD and CD, converts both through a 32-bit DAC with four-times oversampling, and outputs via balanced XLR and single-ended RCA — meaning it can serve as a DAC for an external digital source as well. Digital inputs are on board: coaxial, optical, and AES\/EBU. If your library is on disc, this is the machine built to read it the way it was intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe McIntosh house sound is here: authoritative, warm without being slow, wide without losing center focus. The MCD500 does not require apology in a serious system. It holds its own alongside considerably more expensive current digital sources, particularly on SACD, where the format's native resolution gives the machine something worth doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe build is what you'd expect from McIntosh: the illuminated front panel, the solid chassis, the sense that it will still be working thirty years from now. Preowned McIntosh disc players tend to stay in service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(253, 183, 22);\"\u003e$6,500 MSRP\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"McIntosh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48438123004041,"sku":"MCD500-ZE1361","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4557\/0185\/files\/McIntoshcopy2_1ebdaa61-1bfe-446d-9219-ea134193646a.png?v=1790357484","url":"https:\/\/echohifi.com\/products\/mci-mcd500-ze1361","provider":"Echo Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
