MA7200

The amplifier's 14 inputs consist of 8 analog connections (5 unbalanced, 1 balanced, 2 MM and MS phono preamp inputs for turntables), 6 digital connections (2 coaxial, 2 optical plus 1 USB and 1 proprietary MCT for use with our MCT450 SACD/CD Transport). The digital inputs are housed in the new DA1 digital audio module, which can be easily replaced with future modules to keep the McIntosh MA7200 up-to-date with the latest digital audio technology.

The DA1 module comes with an 8-channel 32-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) used in Quad Balanced mode. The USB input accepts PCM signals up to 32-bit/384kHz and supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz for high-resolution audio playback, while the coaxial and optical inputs will decode music up to 24-bit/192kHz. All inputs can be assigned custom names for easy control and system customization.

The McIntosh MA7200 is equipped with new Monogrammed Heatsinks, which are very efficient in heat dissipation, some of them in the form of the McIntosh “Mc” logo. They are coupled with advanced high current transistors and no warm-up time, so you can enjoy the full sonic capabilities of the MA7200 from the moment you turn it on. The MA7200 is full of other McIntosh technologies, including Autoformers to drive up to 200 watts from each of your speakers regardless of impedance, Power Guard, Sentry Monitor, PassThru direct input for home theater, bass and treble controls, Crossfeed Director HXD technology for headphones, and gold-plated terminals and terminals.

The enclosure design follows the timeless McIntosh design with blue arrow indicators, a black glass front panel with aluminum end caps, control knobs and logo illumination.
