The MA7200 is an exquisite, high-performance solid state stereo integrated amplifier incorporating a power amplifier circuitry equipped with McIntosh's unique Autoformer technology to ensure that its 200 watts continuous per channel are delivered in full whether the impedance of the associated loudspeakers is 8, 4 or 2 ohms.
In terms of analogue connectivity, the MA7200 includes a total of 8 inputs split into 1 balanced line, 5 unbalanced line, 1 moving magnet (MM) phono and 1 moving coil (MC) phono, plus 1 set of unbalanced outputs.
In terms of digital connectivity, the MA7200 comes standard with the DA1 module from McIntosh, whose six digital inputs (2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT) make it easy to connect to any state-of-the-art digital source.
In addition, the DAC functionality of the DA1 - which can be optionally replaced by the even more advanced DA2 module - supports DSD256 (11.2 MHz) and DXD recordings at 384 kHz sampling rate, thanks to the use of an 8-channel D/A conversion chip with 32-bit technology configured in Quad Balanced mode to dramatically increase dynamic range and minimise distortion.
McIntosh 's unique MCT input allows for a secure DSD connection to any of the brand's CD/SACD transport mechanics and optimises the sound quality of SACDs.
The MA7200 also features two of McIntosh 's exclusive Monogrammed Heatsinks to ensure perfect thermal stability of the advanced high-current, high-speed transistors in its output section, plus a high-current Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) headphone amplifier, powerful electronic protection and two iconic elements: the treated glass front panel and two stylish blue-backed analogue VU meters.
