Data Disc Playback
The MCT80 has the ability of playing back music with
higher resolution sampling rates and format types with
a user created DVD Data Disc (or CD Data Disc) than
a standard CD Disc. Listening to the higher resolution
music from the Data Disc doesn’t require an active
computer connected to your Audio/Video Component
System. There are several Windows Applications
available for creating a high resolution music DVD
Data Disc or CD Data Disc. One example of avail-
able applications is “JRiver Media Center” of which
can also be used to stream high resolution music via
the USB Input on contemporary McIntosh Integrated
Amplifiers and Preamplifiers.
When the DVD Data Disc is playing back, it might
be necessary to select the MCT or Coaxial/Optical
Input from the MCT80, to accommodate the type and/
or resolution of the music track playing back. If the
music track selected for playback is not compatible
with the MCT80, the Front Panel Information Display
will indicate “Unsupported” at which time, select
another track for playback.
