McIntosh MVP 861 proprietary multi disc player

[HD Audio News]

Another multi-format HD audio player sporting separate SACD/DSD and DVD Audio/PCM D/A convertors!

McIntosh ranks among the best-known names in high-end audio. Since the company's inception in the early 1950s, McIntosh products, with their immediately recognizable black-glass front panels, have earned a place in homes of passionate audiophiles throughout the world.

The latest McIntosh product to fall into my journalistic maw, the MVP 861 universal disc player, replaces the MVP 851 DVD-A player I reviewed about two years ago. This new machine represents McIntosh's first foray into the world of universal disc players. It can play CDs and DVDs as well as DVD-As, SACDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs with CD audio or MP3 files. With built-in decoders for SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, and DTS, the MVP 861 delivers a one-box solution for all currently available audio and video disc formats.
