ESS Technology, a supplier of audio/video solutions, announced that its
Sabre Reference eight-channel audio D/A converter (ES9008) is
incorporated in the new McIntosh Laboratory MCD500 SACD/CD Player

The MCD500, housed with a rigid aluminum die-cast mechanism base with
aluminum die-cast tray, is a two-channel SACD/CD player supporting
SACD, hybrid SACD, CD, CD-R and CR-RW disc playback. Both balanced and
unbalanced outputs with fixed or variable volume are provided, together
with a low-impendence headphone output. The MCD500 can also be used as
standalone D/A converter thought its coaxial or optical digital audio
input.
The MCD500's analog stereo has wide dynamic range, extremely low
distortion, wide sound stage and jitter-free music clarity offered by
the ESS Sabre Reference 8-channel D/A converter in Stereo Quad Balanced
mode. With patented multi-bit Hyperstream modulator with Revolver
Dynamic Matching and time-domain Jitter Eliminator, the ESS Sabre
Reference has become the new standard for studio-quality audio D/A
conversion through its dynamic range of up to 134dB and ultra low
distortion of -118dB.

audiophiles. The ESS Sabre Reference D/A converter enables MC500 to
reproduce CD and SACD music with extreme precision and elegance. The
sound is truly exceptional."

Sabre Reference for its new flagship SACD/CD player. Through our
patented groundbreaking technologies, the Sabre Reference has become
the industry's benchmark for audio D/A converters offering
studio-quality jitter free performance with unprecedented richness and
clarity for every serious music enthusiast."
