Offered is „MCD500 / MCD 500“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „SACD Player“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 1725656261 ends on 27.10.2026 at 06:23 o'clock.
The MCD500 has a strong reputation as a full-blooded, high-end disc player, and at €3,300 this listing looks fair to slightly good against your local comps. It sits just above the €3,257 median and well below the €3,856 75th percentile, so it is not a bargain-bin score, but it is priced in the sensible middle of the market.
What makes it worth a look is the usual McIntosh mix of build quality, smooth top-end, and very convincing redbook playback; these are the kind of players people buy to keep. A good condition example at this level is attractive if it is complete and functioning properly, especially if the tray, remote, and display are clean and original. On a unit like this, a fresh laser and stable drawer action matter more than cosmetic perfection.

McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation.

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.
