Streamlined Audio Experience
The MCD350 2-Channel SACD/CD Player is designed for the audio lover who appreciated great sound and a user-friendly experience. This home CD player offers an incredibly balanced two-channel, 32-bit/192 kHz DAC and 2x disc read speed that places CD/DVD data in a buffer memory for enhanced error correction and tracking. The MCD350 turns your CD and DVD collection into an unmatched sonic experience, in which the music suddenly comes to life and you discover sounds and details you’ve never heard before.
This CD player and recorder also offers both balanced and unbalanced options such as a coax and optical output for those who choose to send the digital audio signal to an external DAC, preamplifier or home audio processor. Additionally, each analog, including the digital coax outputs, is gold-plated and resistant to corrosion.
Unmatched Craftsmanship
McIntosh has been crafting high-end audio technology for seven decades. Like every product, the MCD350 is built in the New York-based factory that McIntosh has used for over 60 years. Renowned and respected around the world, these products continue to set the standard for cutting-edge performance, unmatched sound and long-term durability. This particular home CD player is an example of McIntosh’s ingenuity, craftsmanship, originality and service.
Today, assembling shortcuts and outsourcing is more common than ever. The MCD350 takes an uncompromising approach marked by hands-on craftsmanship, audio expertise and a relentless passion for offering the best sound experience possible. These notable characteristics set the product apart. While most home CD players try to copy the competition, the MCD350 2-Channel SACD/CD Player leads through sheer innovation.
Precise Engineering
The MCD350 excels over the competition with a twin-laser optical drive featuring a single objective lens that gathers information with extreme precision. The separate laser parts are dedicated to both SACD and CD playback, making the multi disc CD player a double threat regardless of which format you choose. The additional rigid, aluminum die-cast tray ensures uncompromising stability, vibration-resistant control and quiet function.
The stereo CD player also features both balanced and unbalanced fixed analog outputs, a coaxial output and an optical output. Each of these components is finished with gold for ultimate conductivity. This is complemented by a durable, sturdy, statement making, partially polished stainless-steel chassis. Finally, the CD player features McIntosh's trademark look — a black glass front panel with an illuminated design and aluminum end caps. The design as well as the engineering are crafted with precision and made to provide years of audio enjoyment.
