McIntosh Trade-Up Program: Are You Tempted?
 

McIntosh is promoting another Trade-Up Program, this time towards a new MVP901.

I have an MVP881 that I like a lot, even though I know many McIntosh users have reservations about the company's digital products. So I'm tempted by this offer, especially if I could wrangle an additional little discount from my local friendly Mac dealer.

I do have some concerns because the 901 is based on an Oppo mechanism, as I recall.

What do you think? Is anyone else contemplating taking advantage of the program?

Not tempted in the least. No 4K is a deal breaker. I still have an Oppo 205 in the box, and other manufacturers offer good 4k Blu-ray and everything machines.

Panasonic 9000 in this house. I feel like Mac will be sitting on these for a while unless there is a blowout.

Video and Digital Audio are both moving targets. In this arena, if you aren’t leading then you are in the rear view mirror.

I don't have a Mc bluray player to trade up to a new Mc bluray player, but even if I had one I think I'll wait another decade for Mc to finally release a 4K version.

I still enjoy 3D bluray movies, but my oppo 203 and 205 players do both bluray and 4k.

The Oppo’s are great, and picked up one each (203 and 205) before company ceased manufacturing. Trusty 981 is still running great although does not read Blu-Ray, sonically it is refreshing to use as a source for CD’s. 8k is around the corner.

I am not tempted at all. I was until I saw the McIntosh doesn't do 4K. That's a deal breaker for me.

I’m guessing there is a 4K player in the wings and a lot of current MVP 901 stock to move.

Just in time for 8K.
