McIntosh just announced the release of their new MCT500 SACD/CD transport.
This is great news for those of you still committed to the shiny disc. With the ability to play SACD and CD discs, the MCT500 offers TOSLINK, RCA/SPDIF and AES/EBU digital outputs.
Owners of select McIntosh products with their proprietary MCT input will be able to take advantage of the full SACD bitstream as well, via the MCT output on the 500′s back panel.
Of course, the MCT500 shares the aesthetic of previous MAC components, so it will look right at home amongst a rack full of blue and green. $4,500 at your McIntosh dealer now.
