Great machine. Enjoy. The MCT connection is the way to go if you listen to SACD
SACD Players
Hello,
New member here. I am looking to add an SACD player in order to play the DSD layer of SACD directly. Based on my research I have shortlisted PS Audio Direct Stream Memory player and McIntosh MCT500.
Option 1) I currently own McIntosh MA5300 which means I can use MCT500 with supplied DIN cable connected to MA5300’s DA1
Option 2) Purchase PS Audio Direct Stream Memory player and DirectStream DAC MK1 (Both discontinued)
From what I understand the memory buffering and Air Lens would make the media sound better. Whereas, I haven’t found many reviews on MCT500.
Both options would roughly cost the same. I am looking for the better sound. Which option is better? Any advice or insights would help.
Thank you,
SA
