The MDA200 benefits from a next-generation, Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit digital-to-analogue converter. This audiophile-grade DAC features enhanced dynamic range and improved total harmonic distortion.
Support for high-resolution digital audio playback is offered, with the USB input providing native DSD playback up to DSD512 and DXD to 384 kHz; the coax and optical inputs support up to 24-bit/192 kHz. The MDA200 benefits from seven digital audio inputs: two coaxial, two optical, one USB, one MCT (to pair with McIntosh’s MCT series of SACD/CD Transports), plus an audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) to improve sound quality from TVs.
