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

Technology: The McIntosh MCD85 features a completely redesigned digital circuit with a high-quality 8-channel Quad Balanced D/A Converter. This means there are 4 DAC channels assigned to both the left and right audio channels. The new CD tray is made of cast aluminium and moves very smoothly and stably. CDs are read at lightning-fast speeds, and the McIntosh MCD85 reads CDs 2 times faster than normal, which ensures better error correction processing and disc tracking. In addition to CDs and SACDs, the McIntosh MCD85 can also play files via USB from, for example, a computer or streamer. 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 has both balanced and unbalanced outputs. On the front you'll find a rotary knob to select the input, an identical knob to turn the MCD85 on and off, and the usual Play/Pause, Stop and Open/Close buttons.

Appearance: 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 plate on the front with the McIntosh logo illuminated in green. Below that you'll find an LED display showing the track number and the track progress. The brightness of the LED screen can be easily dimmed or made brighter. And right at the front you'll find 2 large shiny buttons for set-up 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 full, detailed and rich. The difference with 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 of McIntosh CD players. The McIntosh MCD85 will never give too much or too little of anything. The sound is very controlled and balanced, and even at higher volumes with stronger music the McIntosh MCD85 maintains its grip and the sound remains comfortable – you won't need to rush to turn down the volume. This means you can still enjoy the McIntosh MCD85 after hours, days, weeks, months or years. The overall picture simply adds up and doesn't give the feeling that you're really listening to a digital signal; the music is reproduced with full emotion, which creates more emotion and engagement with the music. Although the McIntosh MCD85 sounds refined, it doesn't sound dull or too tame. Due to this very refined character, the McIntosh MCD85 is suitable for virtually any type of music at virtually any volume on virtually any type of speaker. It should also be mentioned that McIntosh offers excellent service on its equipment, so you don't need to worry about the future, as spare parts are in good stock and can easily be obtained in the future, and McIntosh never leaves its customers in the lurch, as it should be.
