McIntosh MA5300 Integrated Amplifier, $5,500 US
The MA5300 integrated amp is the most affordable means of getting a taste of the legendary McIntosh sound. This direct coupled, solid state amp puts out 100 watts per channel into 8 Ohms, and displays a readout of power on dual blue analog meters. It offers great flexibility thanks to 6 analog inputs (which include a Moving Magnet turntable input) and 6 digital inputs. There’s even an on-board DAC that supports DSD256 and DXD 384 kHz for high resolution playback. The digital inputs are all housed on a separate module which can be replaced in the future as new digital formats become available. www.mcintoshlabs.com
