It can add digital music listening to an otherwise all analog home audio system, or it can also be a useful upgrade to an older D\/A Converter that has become outdated and needs to be replaced so you can achieve better playback performance and enjoy current features. It is a stand-alone, outboard D\/A Converter that can easily be added to home audio systems of various sizes, ages, and configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"mc-video-block\"\u003e\u003cvideo autoplay loop muted playsinline\u003e\u003csource src=\"https:\/\/www.mcintoshlabs.com\/-\/media\/Videos\/McIntoshLabs\/Products\/MDA200\/MDA200-animation.mp4?rev=91d0ec751af94b2f9e5714f32ce23c40\u0026amp;revision=91d0ec75-1af9-4b2f-9e57-14f32ce23c40\" type=\"video\/mp4\"\u003e\u003c\/video\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section-1\" class=\"mc-section\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the MDA200 is the McIntosh DA2 Digital Audio Module. The DA2 has 7 digital audio inputs: 2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT (for use with our MCT series of SACD\/CD Transports), and 1 audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)1 connection. The DA2 is powered by a next generation, Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC). This audiophile-grade DAC features improved dynamic range and improved total harmonic distortion. The DA2 supports high resolution digital audio playback, as the USB input supports native playback of up to DSD512 and DXD up to 384kHz, while the coax and optical inputs can decode digital music up to 24-bit\/192kHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"section-2\" class=\"mc-section\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Capable of providing world-class sound that is warm, engaging and musically easy to listen to.
