Wonderful CD player from McIntosh capable of playing any CD format including SACD.

Features variable line outputs so you can technically use it as a digital preamp by simply adding an amp and speakers.

We just serviced this piece by replacing every CD players most unreliable part - the belts.

There are 3 of them in this model which we ordered directly from McIntosh (no cheap parts used).

Condition is superb with no significant signs of use.

The current CD Player from Mc is now $7,500 with no real improvements.

This listing also comes complete with the McIntosh special shipping carton and remote control.
