MCD600 - Opinions?
Looking to add a CD player to my McIntosh rig.
Is this model ready for a refresh? I believe its been available for 3 or 4 years. Any known issues reported? I know the MCD12000 was just released but it is beyond my budget, unfortunately. Thanks!

Do you need/want SACD? Is it important that this be McIntosh? If both answers are "no", I would take a look at the Naim Uniti Core before pulling the trigger.

Hi...
SACD = No McIntosh = Yes (since other main components are)

Here's a nice review from Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, nice player, especially for the price and if you want to stick with Mc gear.

Reviews all seem pretty consistent and I haven't read of any customer complaints like I have with the 500. I would prefer to have a USB input on the rear and omit the USB port on the front panel.

MCD600 is a great looking piece. Like that it has the proper knobs on the front. If I ever decide to "go digital", would build my system around the MCD600. Do agree, should have a USB port on the rear, as well.

does the 600 fast forward and fast reverse within a track?
I have a 500 which plays good ... but ... the 500 does not fast forward nor fast reverse. The 500 only jumps forward or back to the beginning of the tracks. |
