About this product

How Digital Is Supposed to Sound: McIntosh MCT450 SACD/CD Transport Provides Premium Performance, Advanced Power Supply, Detailed Sonics, Stellar Connectivity, Gorgeous Looks
Designed to be paired with an external component with digital inputs, and tailored for matching with the McIntosh D150 digital preamplifier via its unique DIN output, the McIntosh MCT450 SACD/CD transport offers state-of-the-art performance from nearly every kind of audio disc manufactured. A host of balanced, coaxial, optical, and DIN outputs allow MCT450 to be effortlessly integrated into virtually any type of system. A twin-laser pickup, two-times reading speed, and a high-end die-cast-aluminum CD tray ensure optimal reading and tracking. MCT450 also boasts a linear power supply with a special R-core power transformer, as well as power control and data ports for the simplest-possible operation.

Most importantly, the super-quiet and hyper-accurate MCT450 produces beguiling sound. You'll both discover and rediscover all the information on your discs. Everything from the thwack of a snare drum to the liberating crunch of a power chord to the brassy spunk of a saxophone will take on realistic proportions. You won't need to imagine what live music sounds like; you'll experience it. And you'll do it all in style, as MCT540 has McIntosh's signature looks, including an illuminated black glass faceplate and stainless-steel super-mirror-finish chassis. This is how digital was always supposed to sound and feel. 100% Guaranteed, with a 90-Day Warranty from Music Direct.

An Unparalleled Heritage of Prestigious Craftsmanship
McIntosh has been handmaking world-class audio equipment for seven decades. Each component is produced in the same upstate New York factory the company has called home for 60 years. Recognized and revered around the globe, McIntosh continues to set new standards for high-end performance, unstinting reliability, and product longevity. Its storied tradition of ingenuity, craftsmanship, pride, and service is shared by only the most iconic American brands. In an era where manufacturing shortcuts and outsourcing are the norm, McIntosh takes a no-compromise approach defined by hands-on workmanship, singular expertise, and an unabated passion for being the best in its field. These rarified characteristics set McIntosh apart. While most audio companies emulate the competition, McIntosh leads by living up to – and exceeding – its own benchmarks. That's the mark of a legend.

Handmade for Everyone That Appreciates the Superiority of Hands-On Artistry
McIntosh's handcrafted ethic predates by more than half a century the handcrafted movement currently re-defining the beer, food, furniture, jewelry, and soap industries. From patrons of farm-to-table restaurants to fans of limited-batch beer, people increasingly realize the importance and superiority of handcrafted goods in their everyday life. Whether it's the exacting detail afforded the PC boards, the meticulous attention paid to the hand-wound transformer coils, or the innovation behind patented Power Guard circuitry, McIntosh shares in the same belief. Rather than cut corners or adhere to mass-produced construction, McIntosh only puts its name on components that deliver paragon experiences by way of their unassailable artistry and precision-minded quality. While McIntosh products don't come cheap, they stand out – and stand the test of time – in a world flooded by homogeneity and inferiority.

Aspire to Own an American Icon
McIntosh amplifiers broadcast President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration speech and powered the original Woodstock festival. Nearly 29,000 watts of McIntosh power fueled the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound, regarded by many as the finest-sounding concert system ever devised. McIntosh has assisted in the recording of some of history's most celebrated albums, including the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. David Bowie collaborator/noted producer Tony Visconti and Dead guitarist/singer Bob Weir are among the countless McIntosh devotees. Thousands of older McIntosh components remain active in systems, having been built to last a lifetime. The history is clear: With McIntosh, you're not only considering today but planning for endless tomorrows. McIntosh is legacy audio you bequeath to future generations. The reason wish lists exists, McIntosh is the dream you aspire to own and, once you do, you cherish forever.
