#McIntosh #MA9000 #IntegratedAmplifier. Achieving audio perfection
The MA9000 Integrated Amplifier can help you achieve audio perfection. McIntosh's largest integrated in both size and power, it offers 300 Watts per channel and combines their amplifier and preamplifier expertise into one comprehensive unit.

Highlights...
2 x 300 Watts Power Amplification
New & Improved McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks
Analogue inputs include 6 x RCA, 2 x Balanced, 1 x MM Phono, 1 x MC Phono
Digital inputs include 2 Coaxial, 2 Optical, 1 USB, 1 MCT input
Quad Balanced 8-Channel, 32-bit / 192 kHz DAC
Hi-Res Digital Music up to DSD256 & DXD 384kHz
New & Improved Control Microprocessors
Full of McIntosh technological staples including Autoformers, Power Guard, Sentry Monitor, Home Theater PassThru, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD), Power Control and Solid Cinch speaker binding posts.

A multitude of inputs...
There are enough inputs and outputs on the MA9000 to last a lifetime. The 10 analog connections are comprised of 2 balanced and 6 unbalanced inputs plus 1 Moving Coil and 1 Moving Magnet for turntable connectivity. Both phono inputs feature adjustable loading for fine tuning of vinyl playback. All unbalanced analog connectors are made from premium gold-plated solid brass for superior signal handling and grounding.

On the digital side, 2 coax, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT input (for use with our MCT450 SACD/CD Transport) are all housed in our new DA1 Digital Audio Module; the DA1 can be easily replaced by future modules to keep your MA9000 up to date as new digital audio formats and technologies are developed.

Exceptional digital decoding...
The DA1 utilizes a powerful 8-channel, 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) used in Quad Balanced mode. The coax and optical inputs will decode music up to 24-bit/192kHz for high resolution audio playback; the USB input accepts even higher PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz. All inputs can be given custom names for user-friendly system control and configuration. All inputs also function independently of each other and each is always available for use regardless of how your sources are connected.

New McIntosh technology...
The MA9000 features new McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks that are made from high quality materials with excellent thermal conductivity properties. They also have a higher quality finish thanks to a new manufacturing process. They are connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate thermal equilibrium lag time (or warm-up time), meaning the first note played will sound just as good as those played later in your listening session.

New, more powerful control microprocessors have been used in the MA9000 to improve overall system operation. Some of the latest audio-grade circuit components have also been utilized to allow the MA9000 to deliver the best sound possible.
