GENERAL
Overview: The McIntosh MCD85 is a versatile CD/SACD player from McIntosh.

Technical Specs: The McIntosh MCD85 features a newly designed digital circuit with a premium 8-channel Quad Balanced D/A Converter. This means there are 4 DAC channels assigned to both the left and right audio channel. The new CD drawer is made of cast aluminum and moves very smoothly and stably. CDs are read super fast, and the McIntosh MCD85 reads CDs twice as fast as normal, which provides better error correction processing and disc tracking. In addition to CDs and SACDs, the McIntosh MCD85 can also play files via USB from a computer or streamer, and the McIntosh MCD85 accepts virtually all file formats including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, WAV (up to 24bit/192kHz) and even DSD files (up to DSD256). The McIntosh MCD85 also offers 2 digital inputs (SPDIF Coax and Toslink/Optical) so you can connect an external source such as a streamer or TV. The MCD85 features both balanced and unbalanced outputs. On the front you'll find a rotary knob to select the input, a matching button to turn the MCD85 on and off, and the usual Play/Pause, Stop and Open/Close controls.

Design: You can almost always recognize a McIntosh device from a mile away, and the McIntosh MCD85 is no exception. The MCD85 features the characteristic black glass panel on the front with the McIntosh logo lit up in green. Below that you'll find an LED display showing the track number and track progress. The intensity of the LED display can be easily dimmed or brightened. At the very front you'll find 2 large shiny buttons for setup and changing the input. The McIntosh MCD85 is very solid, yet reasonably compact in build, and is truly a pleasure to look at.

Sound : The McIntosh MCD685 has the typical McIntosh character. This means the MCD85 sounds beautifully warm, detailed and full. The difference from older McIntosh equipment lies more in the detail and tangibility of the soundstage. The MCD85 also sounds more precise and airier than the older McIntosh CD players, which sound somewhat darker than the newer generation McIntosh CD players. The McIntosh MCD85 will never give too much or too little of anything. The sound is very controlled and balanced; even at higher volumes with heavier music, the McIntosh MCD85 maintains its grip and the sound remains comfortable, so you don't need to rush to the volume control to turn it down. This ensures that after hours, days, weeks, months or years, you can still enjoy the McIntosh MCD85. The overall picture is just right and doesn't give the feeling that you're really listening to a digital signal; the music is rendered with full emotion, which creates more emotion and involvement with the music. Although the McIntosh MCD85 sounds refined, it doesn't sound boring or too tame. Because of this very refined character, the McIntosh MCD85 is suitable for virtually every type of music at virtually any volume on virtually any type of speaker. It's also worth mentioning the excellent service that McIntosh offers on its equipment; you don't need to worry about the future, as spare parts are in stock and can be supplied in the future, and McIntosh never leaves its customers out in the cold, as it should be.
