McIntosh Laboratory has launched a new integrated amplifier, complete with three-input DAC, headphone amp, plus a Moving Magnet phono input all in a compact chassis.
The MA5200 offers D/A decoding at up to 32-bit/192kHz for digitally connected devices, plus a complement of analogue inputs. The three-strong digital input suite in the McIntosh Digital Engine includes an assignable coaxial and optical input, plus a dedicated asynchronous USB 2.0 input (operating at up to 32-bit).
Offering a (conservatively rated) 100-watt output and MA5200 benefitting from a Home Theatre Pass Through feature, it should integrate nicely into existing multichannel home cinema systems.
The MA5200 sells for £4,995 and is available now.
