The MA9500 comes standard with a DA2 digital audio module, it offers 7 digital inputs: 2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB, 1 MCT, and 1 HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) only connection1. The DA2 is equipped with an 8-channel 32-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), which improves both the dynamic range and the total amount of harmonic distortion compared to the DAC in the DA1.
