Music from disc or via the digital inputs is processed in the device and then sent analog to a preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or other control component.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo DACs for Two Channels\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, two DACs operate, one for each of the left and right audio channels. The DACs are configured in Octal-Balanced-Mono mode. Separate digital and analog power supplies isolate power and audio signals, while the specially designed R-Core power transformer reduces interference radiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHybrid Drive™ with Tube and Solid-State Outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MCD12000 offers you two output options for analog output: via tube technology or via solid-state technology. Both variants are available symmetrically via XLR and unsymmetrically via RCA. This allows the player to be flexibly integrated into high-quality Hi-Fi systems – matching your existing components, the respective music, and your personal listening preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible Integration of Digital Sources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith seven digital inputs, the MCD12000 is broadly equipped: two coaxial inputs, two optical inputs, USB Type B, AES\/EBU, and MCT. The coaxial and optical inputs support up to 24-bit \/ 192 kHz, the USB input supports up to 32-bit \/ 384 kHz, as well as DSD512 and DXD384 kHz. Additionally, a coaxial and an optical digital output are available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisc and File Playback\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to SACD, CD, and CD-R\/RW, the MCD12000 also plays DVD data discs and common file formats such as AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD up to DSD128, FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. Disc playback uses a twin-beam laser, a precise die-cast aluminum tray, and a digital servo for fast, quiet, and accurate drive operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEveryday Operation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOperation is performed directly on the device via buttons and rotary controls for input selection, disc layer, drive control, display, and setup menu. A remote control is included. The output level indicators respond to the played signal; the volume is not controlled on the MCD12000, but on the connected preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or control unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement and Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MCD12000 can be placed on a table or shelf or built into furniture or a cabinet.
