■
The DA2 Digital Audio Module is our newest and most
advanced module for processing digital audio. It comes
standard in the C53 and C2700 Preampliers, allowing
both of those units to take advantage of some of the
latest innovations in digital audio technology.
■
McIntosh home audio products that come with the
DA1 Digital Audio Module can be upgraded to the
newer DA2 Digital Audio Module.
■
The applicable models that can be upgraded are:
MA9000, MA8900, MA7200 and MA5300 Integrated
Ampliers; MAC7200 Receiver; and C49 Preamplier.
■
The DA2 builds upon the DA1 with an expanded set of
capabilities. It is powered by a next generation,
Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit, audiophile-grade
Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC).
■
In addition to having all the same connections as the
DA1, a new audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel
(ARC)
1
connection is included on the DA2.
■
The DA2’s USB input can support native playback of up
to DSD512, surpassing the DSD256 limit of the DA1.
