Looking for a £14,000 CD player, look no further than this, it’s beautiful? News today of the new McIntosh MCD12000 which is a CD/SACD player. But it also looks to me like their new reference DAC because it has seven digital inputs being converted by two (one for each channel) ESS SABRE PRO ES9038PRO 32-bit/8-channel DACs.
Preamplifier output is driven by a combination of tube and solid-state electronics, assigned to each channel. The CD transport uses a die cast aluminium tray.
The look is pure McIntosh and it is even Roon tested.
Orders for the MCD12000 SACD/CD Player can now be placed with authorised McIntosh dealers with shipping expected to begin in May 2022 (United States and Canada), and for the rest of the world, shortly thereafter, £13,995.
