Just released. MCD85 SACD/CD Player $4500 USD. For those of you still spinning discs. Noteworthy that it includes SACDs.

Numerous file formats can be played from these discs including AAC, AIFF, ALAC, DSD (up to DSD128), FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. The USB Audio input supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz, and can be used to stream digital music from a computer or other digital storage device. There's also two coax and two optical digital inputs that support PCM signals up to 192kHz."

   Still spinning those shiny discs myself. Stream for casual listening. Server when lazy to get up. Transport/DAC still King for me. For $4500 appears to be a good deal.

Horrific looking.

I wonder if the designer knew that it didn’t have to look like the ugly cousin of a MA352?

I didnt say that to avoid the patriotic gang, but beside ugly still looks cheap.
