More components

  • C53

    Preamplifiers

    McIntosh C53

    The device has a new removable DA2 module, where all digital inputs and associated signal processing circuits are assembled in a single place. The idea is for the user to easily replace the board as digital audio formats evolve, without having to replace the entire preamp.

  • C2700

    Preamplifiers

    McIntosh C2700

    In addition to the digital-to-analog converter (and the McIntosh C2700 has a very good one - proprietary Quad Balanced technology, ready to work with signals up to DSD512 and DXD 384 kHz), there is also a Dolby and DTS spatial sound decoder with stereo conversion. Thus, the device will work perfectly with movie sound, easily integrate into a home cinema (there is a Home Theater Pass-Through mode), and also interface with TV via HDMI ARC.

  • C49

    Preamplifiers

    McIntosh C49

    The device has 2 XLR, 3 RCA inputs, a phono corrector module (MM/MS), a pair of coaxial, a pair of optical connectors and a USB interface. There is also an on-board MCT connector for communication with McIntosh transports. The digital-to-analog converter of the model uses chips in Quad Balanced mode and accepts signals up to PCM 32/384 and DSD256.

  • C55

    Preamplifiers

    McIntosh C55

    The McIntosh C55 preamp takes the best out of the C53 model, while taking the sound quality to a whole new level. The device is equipped with an 8-band analog equalizer to fine tune the music and create a personalized sound.

  • C8

    Preamplifiers

    McIntosh C8

    It has a built-in universal phono corrector for pickup heads with a movable magnet and a movable coil, a headphone amplifier, and also provides the ability to install an optional DA2 digital module. The circuit is traditionally based on four 12AX7 triple triodes hidden in branded protective cages.
