McIntosh MX119

Is there any way to get sacd stereo hi-res in zone B?

I heard the MX119 a few weeks ago along with the MC207. I cant discribe the sound other then by saying it was Marvolus in both stereo, surround,& movie soundtracks.It listed for $5500.00 at the dealers but i was able to buy it new open box on ebay for $4425. Im saving for the MC207 which I can get new opened box for $5250.
P.S. listen to the opening of the movie "SEA BICUIT" the thunder of galloping horses with the underling musical score is breath taking!GOOOOOO MAC

It's the best pre amp ive bought and ive been messing around with this stuff since 1957. My next pruchase is the MC207 7.1 200watt Amp. This thing made my B&W matrix 802's sing like never before damn its sweet.

I've had my MX-119 for about a year now. I run it with an MC-205 through Dunlavy SC3s and SC1s.

Likes: Flexibility, ease of use and setup, above average phono section.
Dislikes: Finiky remote, crowded rear panel, no hdmi or upgradability, phono not on par with other $5K setups.

Now that HD DVD (or Blueray) is out, I'm thinking of parting with this to get a preamp with more inputs and especially HDMI or DVI so I can really use the new stuff in my system.

Well I have had the MX119 and MC 207 amp now for 2 years and I would say that they have been a great addition to my system. I am also using the McIntosh LS 360 main speakers in bi-amp, but they are really power hungry so I bought a pair of MC 352. I have them set up in vertical bi-amp and wow!
