Each DAC operates in Octal-Balanced Mono mode, using all eight outputs to drive the analog stage. Separate digital and analog power supplies and an R-Core power transformer are used to minimize interference and noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eMcIntosh Hybrid Drive\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MCD12000 incorporates McIntosh Hybrid Drive technology and provides both vacuum-tube and solid-state analog output stages. Balanced and unbalanced fixed outputs are provided for each, allowing you to choose between the two output configurations to suit your system or listening preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vacuum-tube output stage uses one 12AT7 and one 12AX7A tube per channel, while the solid-state output uses a discrete balanced op-amp. All analog outputs are driven by discrete amplifiers or a combination of vacuum tubes and discrete circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSeven Digital Inputs\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven digital inputs make the MCD12000 suitable for use as the digital hub of a high-end audio system. Connections include two coaxial, two optical, USB Type B, AES\/EBU, and McIntosh MCT.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoaxial and optical inputs support signals up to 24-bit\/192 kHz. USB supports PCM up to 32-bit\/384 kHz, DXD up to 384 kHz, and DSD up to DSD512.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSACD, CD, and Data Disc Playback\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to commercial SACDs and CDs, the MCD12000 can play user-created CDs and DVD data discs containing formats including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD up to DSD128, FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA twin-laser optical pickup is optimized for the different disc types, while the precision die-cast aluminum disc tray and advanced digital servo provide smooth, quiet operation. Disc data is read at twice normal speed to improve tracking and error-correction processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassic McIntosh Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pair of 60 dB output meters display the signal level from the analog outputs.
