Advanced Digital Audio Processing

The McIntosh DA2 Digital Audio Module represents the pinnacle of digital audio processing technology. As the latest and most sophisticated module from McIntosh, the DA2 is a standard feature in several high-end McIntosh models including the C53 and C2700 Preamplifiers, and the MA12000, MA9500, and MA8950 Integrated Amplifiers. This module allows these premium units to harness the latest advancements in digital audio, offering an unparalleled listening experience.

Upgrade Your McIntosh with DA2

Owners of certain McIntosh models can elevate their audio systems with the DA2 upgrade. Compatible models include the MA9000, MA8900, MA7200, MA5300 Integrated Amplifiers; MAC7200 Receiver; and C49 Preamplifier. The DA2 upgrade, replacing the DA1 module, is an optional enhancement that must be installed by an Authorized McIntosh Dealer or Service Agency, ensuring precision and maintaining the integrity of your McIntosh product.

Enhanced Connectivity and Performance

The DA2 module builds on the DA1’s legacy, offering expanded capabilities and connections. Notably, it includes an HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection, facilitating a seamless link to ARC-compatible TVs. This feature revolutionizes TV sound, routing audio through your stereo system for an enriched auditory experience. The ARC connection also supports two-way communication for synchronized audio and video, as well as compatibility with popular Dolby® and DTS® multi-channel formats, expertly converted to 2-channel audio.

Superior DAC for High-Resolution Audio

The DA2’s USB input surpasses the DA1 with support for native playback of up to DSD512, thanks to its advanced Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit DAC. This cutting-edge DAC offers a dynamic range and total harmonic distortion improvement, delivering an exquisite audio quality. Additionally, the USB input supports DXD up to 384kHz, while coaxial and optical inputs decode up to 24-bit/192kHz for high-resolution audio playback. The MCT input further complements the DA2, providing an optimal connection for SACDs when used with McIntosh transports like the MCT500 and MCT80, ensuring the best sound quality from your SACD collection.

Professional Installation for Optimal Performance

Due to the technical intricacies of the DA2 upgrade, professional installation by an Authorized McIntosh Dealer or Service Agency is mandatory. This ensures the upgrade is performed accurately, maintaining the warranty and avoiding any potential damage. Contact your local Authorized McIntosh Dealer or Service Agency to schedule your DA2 upgrade and transform your audio experience.
