![]() ![]() For the rest, I let the Logic 7 DSP side of things do the work! You get 7.1 out when using the inbuilt D/A converters.Kill, their purpose is to eliminate each other and they will do whatever it takes to do that. Same idea with analog sources, where I keep an eq / phono stage upstream. What I like to do is feed a DAC into the analog bypass for digital stereo music sources, using it as a volume control only. If you have a 7.1 home theatre setup, where music is 70%+ and you want solid system integration options without compromising stereo performance, you can get a lot of value out of this unit! There's a popular write-up about the Lexicon MC-8 that's worth looking up: the reviewer uses his as a stereo preamp and loves it (openly prefers it to the Parasound gear he has!). Nice analog bypass means it can work really well with a quality Blu-Ray player / digital preamp, your turntable setup, etc. ![]() They make awesome analog stereo / 5.1 multichannel preamps. Many still prefer this over other options out there. Very, very, very nice feature set for multichannel music matrixing. Logic 7 DSP at its finest: get amazing 7.1 out of anything. The key difference between the models was input/output options - that's it! Maybe the DAC in the original MC-12 was different, they keep changing stuff so I can't quite remember anymore. Almost identical, both in terms of internal hardware and software, to the MC-8 and earlier model MC-12. It suffices to say that this line of home theatre gear from Lexicon doesn't need much of an introduction!Ī few highlights / key features of the MC-4: I'm also pretty happy to bring it to you in Sydney for a listen within your own setup. Reason for selling: The MC-12 HD EQ doesn't like competition. The menu is very easy to navigate, and so universals work well. There is a small crack in the remote too. The remote is certainly workable, though the on and off buttons at the top can be intermittent. The remotes on these units always left something to be desired, quality wise: mine has the standard sticky finish deterioration thing going on. It's not the greatest but it does the trick. Only a few light marks on top (which may possibly come off, I'm suspecting old sticker residue here) Item Condition: The unit itself is in very good condition, and works just fine. As much as I like it, thank goodness I haven't owned this from new!). ![]() Price: $520 (RRP was something like 5000+. Location: Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, NSW - pick-up or personal delivery in Sydney with demo and testing done in your own setup. Item: Lexicon MC-4 Home Theatre Processor / Preamplifier ![]()
