RE: Impressions: sony xa5400 vs Ayre cx-5e mp vs Mcintosh mcd-1100

Find yourself a nice MCD500 for sale and you'll get performance very near that of the MCD1100.

I just sold my MCD500 because I'm no longer interested in SACD...but it played beautiful music regardless of format. Now I will tell you that I personally found the Luxman D-06 and much dearer D-08 improvements over my MCD500, but we're not talking in major terms here.

Numerous times when folks were at my home and I would play the MCD500 for them, they were surprised that it wasn't as laid back as other Mac gear. I think the MCD500 and MCD1100 are excellent pairings for other Mac gear in that they provide the excitement that otherwise wouldn't exist in an all Mac system.

If you can get an MCD500 for an audition I think you'll be very surprised...then you'll have a short term AND a long term plan.

Rick.
