Angeboten wird „MCD12000 SACD/CD Player – Reference-Class“ von McIntosh als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 9915023639 endet am 16.06.2026 um 21:33 Uhr.
The McIntosh MCD12000, a flagship SACD/CD player with dual ESS Sabre DACs and tube/solid-state outputs, holds strong resale value thanks to its reference-grade build—new ones fetch around €14,000. Used examples in good shape typically trade in the €8,000-€11,000 range, depending on hours and accessories. At €9,000 for a "good" unit, this sits squarely in the fair zone: not a steal, but reasonable if it's low-use and complete.
Before biting, verify the laser assembly—common weak point on high-end McIntosh spinners after 1,000+ hours, prone to SACD read errors. Insist on original box, remote, manual, and power cord; test all inputs/outputs for dropouts, and clock the display hours if possible to gauge true wear. Solid buy otherwise for McIntosh loyalists.

McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation. Originally based in Silver Spring, Maryland, before relocating to Binghamton, New York, where products are still handcrafted today, the brand emerged from a commitment to superior sound reproduction. From powering President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration to the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound at Woodstock, McIntosh has shaped pivotal moments in music history and pop culture, earning its place as a cultural icon.
The company specializes in a comprehensive lineup of high-fidelity components, including renowned amplifiers—particularly its revered tube models for their warm, enveloping sound—along with solid-state power amps, stereo tuners, loudspeakers, turntables, music streamers, processors, and digital-to-analog converters. This breadth supports both two-channel stereo systems and multi-channel home theaters, delivering immersive experiences in music and film. Iconic blue watt meters on their gear have become globally recognized symbols of precision and power.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, McIntosh commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising quality, luxurious build, and timeless design.
