The fact that the folks at Oppo are right on top of things after making a $995 sale, and McIntosh accepts NO responsibility at 10X the price point, illustrates the company's arrogance and VERY poor customer service. I just find it very hard to believe. The fact that we accept it, is worse.

Where are you storing all of these 24/192 files that you cannot play? If it is a laptop, then connect the Oppo via USB for the few tracks that are available. I can't tell from the Oppo manual if that is a USB input since it is not grouped with the RCA & Optical digital inputs on the back of the 95. I am glad McIntosh did not wait to release the unit until the USB was ready or many of us would still be using the MCD-500 plus needing like the Esoteric D-07 for 24/192. The MCD-1100 handles 24/176 & 24/192 just fine via the digital inputs. I just can't find much music except the SOS that I have owned before.

The truly great news is that the proceeds will go a long way toward some of the best $10k and under DACs around. A few that come to mind are the Berkeley Alpha DAC-2, dCS Debussy, Weiss DAC202. The Stereophile measurements for the Debussy and Weiss are really pretty amazing. If you were to sell the 1100, which DAC would you demo first? Cheers

I have no horse (either dead or alive) in this race as I do not own this unit. I'm 100% in Penthouse-D's corner as I find it unbelievable that I have been reading about this issue for so long with no resolution. On many of these threads the responses are don't waste your time ranting about or worrying about these issues. I don't understand that line of thinking as I like to be informed of the latest happenings/updates and what people think about their products. If the post is not interesting to you, just skip it.

Reading this thread makes me think of the days when the standard way to listen to music was on LP's, and we didn't have any of this gobble-de-gook digital nonsense... and in those days McIntosh was very much near the top, if not at the top... Pssssst, and in those days,McIntosh, didn't even make a turntable! As I see it, firmware upgrades, happen as often as new moons. I doubt any company will be able to keep up. |

I agree with Jim's (Still-One) post. I would still be listening to my two older MCD500's if the MCD1100 had not been released. Enjoying the elevated performance of the MCD1100 has been well worth owning while waiting for the USB firmware update. I won't be using the USB input, but I still want my two players to have full advertised functionality should I ever decide to sell them. Has the wait for the USB firmware been frustrating? Yes. Have I enjoyed every minute listening to the MCD1100 despite that issue? Absolutely. Would I sell my two MCD1100's, even at full price, over this issue? No I wouldn't. Everyone has an opinion. This is mine.

Yes. From a recent post on another discussion. Chuck Hinton said, "we're working on it". It's the principle of the matter. I work very hard to net 10K. If I give it to a company in exchange for goods. They should operate as promised or give me a full refund or some sort of credit. Don't give me this BS, we're working on it. Not for a$10K CD player. Not for over a year. Yeah, I should go buy an Olive to get my $10K CD player to work properly. What about my $4000 MR88 tuner that didn't work properly? And the C50 I briefly owned that was a complete fiasco? As much as I wished and hoped, this is not the same McIntosh I admired in my youth. There is NO OTHER premium audio company that has these problems. It's time we stop being so complacent.
