McIntosh MVP-851 CD/DVD Player

McIntosh MVP-851 CD/DVD player in perfect working condition and very good cosmetic condition. Nice faceplate, with no cracks or bubbles in glass. Overall it is in nice cosmetic shape. It was recently serviced & cleaned by a McIntosh certified technician. It comes with the original remote control, owners manual and service receipt.

The MVP-851 is an excellent all around DVD player but it really shines as a CD player. It has that classic McIntosh sound -- very smooth, non-fatiguing with natural balance and analog-like quality. It creates a broad, yet natural soundstage with absolutely no "digital sheen" to the sound.

Like all McIntosh components the MVP-851 is extremely well designed and constructed. It can handle DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, DVD-R, Video CD, CD-R/RW, MP3, and standard "Red Book" CDs. Burr-Brown 24-bit/192kHz D/A converters and built-in Dolby Digital and DTS decoders provide the MVP851 with optimal analog audio.

For CDs, the MVP851 includes a special digital remastering circuit that upsamples 44.1kHz CDs to 88.2kHz. It also redithers them to achieve a longer digital word length to simulate the sound quality of DVD-Audio. With its three different remastering settings, the listener can choose the exact amount of upper-frequency extension preferred.

Thanks for looking.
