About the MVP-871

The McIntosh MVP-871 is a fifth-generation universal audio/video disc player engineered for uncompromised audio and video playback. It supports SACD, DVD-Audio, Dolby Digital, DTS, and standard CD formats, featuring three built-in 24-bit Burr Brown stereo DACs capable of sampling rates up to 192kHz. The player offers balanced and unbalanced down-mix L/R audio outputs, digital audio outputs (coaxial and optical), and a highly regulated linear power supply with a special R-Core transformer for stable, noise-free operation. Video outputs include HDMI (up to 1080p), component, S-video, and composite, supporting both NTSC and PAL formats with progressive scan and audio/video sync adjustment. The MVP-871 uses a twin laser optical pickup and an innovative transport mechanism that spins CDs at 4x speed and DVDs at 2x speed, buffering data to improve playback of damaged discs. It also features fiber optic front panel illumination and RS232C control port. The unit is built with heavy-duty extruded aluminum sides and measures 6" H x 17.5" W x 16.5" D, weighing 27.5 lbs net. It is highly regarded for its audio fidelity and robust build quality, making it suitable for both stereo audiophiles and surround sound enthusiasts.
