"The MCD201 is a supremely 'together-sounding' player, one which has a certain boldness and dynamic quality, with large scale, well-placed stereo imagery across all disc types. The quid quo pro, if you can call it that, is that compared to other similar players, the McIntosh doesn't have quite the same exquisite refinement and fineness of detail when playing SACDs rather than CD.Addressing the latter first, as a CD player, the MCD201 is first class, and to these ears completely convincing. It has a bold musculature, which reflects musically as a strength and conviction that underpins the performance and makes dynamics sing out. Orchestral music has a ripeness and retains its complexity, which helps to make the most of source material that is inherently complex.Simpler acoustic material - chamber, or accompanied voice - is open and expressive, with a strong sense of soundstage presence but no excessive forwardness. The MCD201 also has the ability to civilise difficult material without reducing or diminishing it, and the sense of musical structure is one point that remains consistent across a wide range of music types.Compared to some high-end CD players, the McIntosh gives an easier, more relaxed and more enveloping ride than many rivals.With music imposing demands on the playback system as diverse as Sarah McLachlan's sentimental Angel and Christian McBride's 'low down, gritty, nasty and funky' Night Train, or the pungently brassy yet atmospheric Janácek's Sinfonietta from José Serebrier and the Czech State Philharmonic on the consistently excellent Reference Recordings label, the player's openness and dynamic ability shine through extraordinarily well." - techradar.com SPECIFICATIONS:Disc format: CD, SACD, MP3Digital converter: CS4398CD Mechanism: RMC RL-S880Frequency response: 4Hz to 20kHz (CD), 4Hz to 110kHz (SACD)Dynamic range: 100dB (CD), 100dB (SACD)Signal to Noise Ratio: 110dB (CD), 110dB (SACD)Channel separation: 98dB (CD), 98dB (SACD)Total harmonic distortion: 0.003% (CD), 0.002% (SACD)Line output: 2V (unbalanced), 4V (balanced)Digital connections: coaxial, opticalDimensions: 445 x 152.4 x 419.1mmWeight: 10.4kgAccessories: remote control Decibel Audio is a retail store and custom installation business in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago.
