MCD1000
CD Transport
With an advanced optomechanical design that provides the ultimate in sonic purity, the MCD1000 could be the last CD transport a listener will ever need. A robust, silent running transport mechanism is utilized and provides crisp response to commands. A machined disc tray and linear bearings round out the opulent look and feel of the device; it is simply a joy to use.
The MCD1000 connects directly to the McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter or to any DAC-equipped component with a digital input. A full complement of digital outputs is provided including balanced AES/EBU. Stunning 3D glass panel cosmetics, excellent performance, and superior convenience, are among the hallmarks of this fine CD transport.
MCD1000 CD Transport Features
POWER SUPPLY
Multiple layers of regulation provide clean power to all critical circuits. The
R-Core power transformer has the lowest noise field of any available.
TRANSPORT ISOLATION
High power systems with high power woofer systems place greater demands
on the CD transport. The MCD1000 is designed to work under these conditions
without producing tracking error that must be corrected later down the data stream.
MACHINED TOP AND SIDE PANELS
The top and sides of the MCD1000 are machined from thick aluminum panels
with a smooth black anodized finish. In the recessed area of the top panel is a
glass panel screened with a block diagram of the MCD1000’s circuitry.
FRONT PANEL DESIGN
3D front panel glass design is illuminated with long-life; cool-running fiber optics that make operation in low light easier. Silk screening on the inside of the glass
front panel prevents wear of the nomenclature, ensuring lasting beauty and highest resale value…a McIntosh hallmark feature.
