McIntosh MCD12000

FINAL PRICE DROP. Here is your chance to own a mint reference level McIntosh component for well under retail price. Up for sale is this MCD12000 CD/SACD player and DAC. It employs the ESS Sabre Pro 9038 DAC and Mc considers it their reference level disc player AND dac. My system plans have changed and I will not be using a preamp (the MCD12000 does not have a volume control). It is two months old and has under 40 hours of use. I was able to listen to it a bit before I sold my Simaudio 600iV2 integrated amp, and not surprisingly, it sounds fabulous: smooth, detailed, and musically engaging. It is Roon Tested and has the added advantage of employing Mc’s “hybrid technology,” meaning you can use either the tube or solid state analogue outputs (or switch between the two), depending on your musical and listening/sonic tastes and preferences. If the buyer is at or very close to the asking price, I will take care of shipping via FedEx ground - insured for the purchase price, but the buyer pays PayPal fees. I have all original boxes (double boxed), owner’s manual, remote, etc.
