Founded the better part of three-quarters of a century ago, McIntosh has always brought the heat when it comes to home audio systems–especially when you consider the fact that their products are all designed and handcrafted in the Good Ole US of A at their Binghamton, NY factory. Despite the cutting-edge nature of everything they make, their latest product might surprised you because it’s, of all things, a CD player. The McIntosh MCD85 SACD/CD Player is one of, if not the, most advanced CD player out there with 8-channel, 32-bit PCM/DSD Quad Balanced DAC, analog stereo outputs, USB Audio input support up to DSD 256, Coac and Optical digital inputs, along with the ability to play commercial and burned CDs , and DVD Data Discs. What’s more, it has that old-school, vintage-style vibe with just the right design, form factor and number of knobs and buttons–which means it will look great whether you’re setting up in a studio or as part of a Mid Century Modern living room.
