Nice Review MCD600

[JBT]

Final thoughts
Niggles aside, the MCD600’s presentation nails just the right mixture of accuracy and emotion, putting it up there with some of the best players and DACs I’ve had in my system. The usability is excellent (once you get over the control scheme for file-based playback), the aesthetic timeless, and the feature set robust. And of course, McIntosh will be around for decades to support it. Being more subjectively direct: for my taste, the MCD600 satisfies in a way that no previous McIntosh disc player has. It gives us uncompromising performance, and – wait for it – could be the last disc-player you ever need.

Interesting. I have the MCD1100 can anybody tell me what DAC my player uses please ?

I also own an MCD 1100.
It uses the ESS 9018 Sabre D/A converter IC configured in Stereo Quad Balance mode, utilizing 4 D/A converters per output channel.

Probably not!

I wish they had included a rear mounted usb input like the mcd550 had so that I could connect my Mac mini to it without seeing any wires. That kept me from buying one.

Yeap, front port is hideous
