2018年2月18日 · McIntosh once had a 'low end' line called Stereotech, but I don't think it was successful. In the days of toobs, Dyna was often called 'the poor man's McIntosh.' In fact, in the '50s Mac offered kits of their amplifier--for the budget minded high-ender.

2019年10月10日 · It's sort of funny: I like the old, '60s, early 70's era McIntosh but not the new ones nearly so much. Don't know if you've notice but the components of that era had all-silver knobs, today's and going back a couple of decades they have had black & silver knobs. The esthetic decline, IMO, began around the time they went to the latter, black ...

2019年10月10日 · However, I think that on the MA9000 the DAC module can be replaced for future updates. I prefer a separate DAC with an integrated Streamer. Unfortunately MA9000 does not have a streamer, so I can only use it with a computer, it is not practical to use it with a mobile phone. I'm interested to know if the quality of the amp justifies its high price.

2020年7月29日 · I had the 4429 hooked up to a Mcintosh MA9000 - way to bright. I later got a mc462 - and used a schiit freya + and it was better. Unfortunately Ive never heard a Mcintosh pair well with the JBL speakers. Maybe one of their tube amps would? I've also noticed all Mcintosh to be light in the bass regardless of what speaker you use.

2022年1月29日 · I'm considering various options to go along with a pair of KEF Blades. The features I want are DIRAC (or RP), streaming (mostly Tidal, hopefully Spotify HiFi soon..), and ARC. The options I'm considering are the NAD M33, NAD M10 v2 + McIntosh MC462, or McIntosh MA9000 integrated. I was...

2024年1月5日 · The McIntosh does have what they are calling an "autoformer" that supposedly allows it to put out full power regardless of the speaker's impedance. Also, the McIntosh has a limiter that prevents clipping, which looking again at the P502 review it …

2024年10月15日 · Let me describe my observations of this headphone amplifier from McIntosh. First about the positive aspects: - attractive appearance, combined with classic notes of audio equipment of the past, black metal chassis, chrome top, beautifully executed transformer boxes. - fully balanced XLR connections for inputs and outputs.

2022年11月5日 · Interesting to see a new integrated streamer from McIntosh. It appears to have the DA2 DAC module builtin, judging by the digital section on the back supporting HDMI as well as USB, MCT, etc. That would imply it has the ES9028PRO on-board in quad-balanced configuration. 160W into 4R, no autoformers. Also Roon Ready!

2022年3月9日 · I looked around the McIntosh website, and the MX100 had the same claimed THD+N as all the other, much more, expensive AVPs. As long as 4 HDMI inputs and 11.2 XLR outputs are enough, this could be all the processor you …
