What is notable is that the McIntosh Group was recently acquired by Highlander, a private equity investor. McIntosh Group also is a distributor for Pro-Ject. The MT5 is a collaboration with Clearaudio. I think it would be safe to guess that any foreseeable future turntable for Mac would be a Pro-Ject collaboration, not one with Clearaudio.
That does not necessarily portend that the MT5 will be discontinued soon and even if it was, McIntosh would likely support it for decades.
Huge news in the world of high-end audio...
