The next logical step in the Playback Designs' line of products is the release of the Music Playback Digital to Analog Converter 5, also known as the MPD-5. The Playback Designs MPD-5 is identical in every way to the MPS-5 SACD / CD Player except it does not have a transport mechanism. Also, thanks to the modular nature of its design, the MPD-5 can be upgraded to a fully functional MPS-5 CD / SACD Player. The MPD-5 is a world class DAC that can receive a variety of external digital sources, including PC based music servers – not only a unique and powerful combination, but also versatile in applications.

With computer based music servers becoming more the norm rather than the exception, the Playback Designs MPD-5 is the top choice for this application. Not only can it be used with a variety of external digital sources, the MPD-5 can be connected directly to a PC via the USB interface, whereby the MPD-5 becomes the soundcard of the PC and converts all the digital audio from the PC to analog via the same processes as for all other digital sources. Finally you can expect the same level of sonic performance from your PC as you can from a transport. The MPD-5 automatically recognizes any source (such as a PC, IPod, Discman, etc.) and uses new technology we have developed called PDFAS (Playback Designs Frequency Arrival System) to completely eliminate all jitter.

The Playback Designs MPD-5 will challenge what you have come to expect as the limitations of digital playback!
