McIntosh Introduces the MHA150!

Thanks. 
The journey to my personal endgame would appear to have ended.
I got good deals on the cans and amp so I can enjoy them with only the faintest hint of buyers remorse.
 
Time to sit back and enjoy the music!

One of us! One of us!
 
Had my (MHA100) for a year now and couldn't be happier.

I been holding out on the MHA100 and waiting for them to introduce a tube based dedicated headphone amp to pair with their D100 which I have.  I just love tube sound too much with planar headphones (and maggie speakers).  so when they updated to this i was like 'damn' and decided instead to go with a PrimaLuna DiaLogue HP Integrated as a dedicated headphone amp instead. Shame because I really wanted it to be a Mc.

Yeah, I think a lot of us would jump on a McIntosh tube headphone amp. We can only hope!

Any comments to share on the new DSD capability? Assuming you have any music in that format. :wink:

Had one listening session last night and suffice to say Im very happy with the Mc. Neither the MHA nor the HEK's are burnt in yet so I wasn't really critiquing. Give me a week and I'll report back..
 
I do have a lot of NativeDSD and Bluecoast records dsd music and DSD playback was a big factor in my purchasing the 150 instead of a used 100.

...big lol ... we'll return to this in one year's time and see how you did. :p

Since I bought my MHA-100 and HE-1000 and uttered the exact same sentiment to my wife, I've given her several thousand dollars spent worth of excuses to throw that back into my face. :wink:

That is true but for me, I've reached a point where I'm so happy with my setup that it will be a long time before the upgrade bug gets me...
 
Maybe maybe maybe a pair of Utopias are in my future but between the Ether C's and the HEK's, I'm quite content..

Yes. All inputs. If using the Speaker out too.

Welp, I decided to get one. I've been listening for ~10 hours a day this week and been very happy. Confident, effortless, solid. Full of earthy bass and not a hint of strain. This amp completely transforms the HE-400i in particular :thumbsup:
 
Has anyone tried the Ether Flow with the MHA series?

Congrats! How does it pair with the LCD-2? Tried speakers off of it yet?

I have the Ether Flow C. Not sure if you care about that. But drives it exceptionally went as one would imagine.

Sorry, I have the mha100, not 150. But it's the same amp, just doesn't have dsd support in the dac.
