Offered is „McIntosh MCT80 SACD/CD transport“ by McIntosh as second-hand device from the category „CD Drive“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 654645554 ends on 10.11.2026 at 19:40 o'clock.
At €3,200, this sits well below the €3,451 25th percentile and far under the €5,048 median for recent comparable EUR listings, so it reads as a strong deal rather than merely fair. It is also a long way from the €8,980 75th percentile, which gives the listing real upside if the unit is clean and fully functional.
That makes it an appealing buy for someone who wants McIntosh build quality and a dedicated disc transport at an entry point that is unusually sensible for the market. The main value here is the transport’s role in giving a steady, clock-friendly digital source in a serious system; if the tray, display, remote, and laser all check out, this is the kind of well-regarded digital front end that can be bought without feeling stretched.

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.

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.
