Invented in 1967 by Jim Delligatti, a Uniontown, Pa.-based McDonald’s franchise owner who recently passed away, the Big Mac went on to appear on their menus nationwide and become one of the most iconic burgers in the world. They sound great and are not expensive.If there’s a Mount Rushmore of fast food-which there will be, if Trump approves my request for federal funding-there’s no question that McDonald’s Big Mac would be on it. Unless you were getting it very cheap or for free, I would save your money and buy something with a warranty or something newer - as there are some really great modern players that are not that expensive anymore.Īnd if you want to go with Mc these would be the MVP series of players, and if you started with a MVP 851 or MVP 861, you would be much better off.Ī Rega Jupiter 2000 uses a Wolfson DAC, as does the Apollo, etc. Any Rega product is newer, sounds good, is inexpensive, and can be serviced (to a point). There are many newer CD players that are so-called analog sounding that are better, cheaper, and able to be serviced. There and many, many options out there instead of buying a 16-year-old Mc CD player that they probably don't even service anymore. They are cool pieces that probably saved the company but times have changed and digital has changed. In my experience their early CD players are not like their amps and pres. UNLESS you are getting it for a great deal, I would probably pass. I dunno.why people are spending all this $$$ on old Mc CD players.

Its new tech, but somehow I don't think it will quite compare. Im really wondering now how that D/A converter in that Rotel tuner will sound compared to this. I dont expect that time will be anytime soon or even next year. I may just have to save some pennies and get that 301 SACD player everyone raves about. Since the technology in this player is from 1995, being 16 years ago, Im really interested in hearing what todays Macs can do with digital music. The natural-ness of the sound is what this player does well. Dynamics aren't quite as punchy as I've noticed, but it could be the amp Im running and not the CD player. If I can hear all this on my lowly system, I wonder how the player would really perform on an optimum system. The high end may very slightly be rolled off giving a more natural sound and more presentation to the midrange where it counts. No edgy sound I typically hear with CD music. I can hear the decay of strings while guitars are playing. The voices sound very natural like they are in the room. It has really good timing of notes, and voice presentation is excellent.

It comes close to sounding like SACD discs. Im like wow! This is definately a very "analog" sounding CD player as other suggest. I had the chance to listen to the player today.
