At a recent audio show I was told this should be available next year, possibly February. Sounds like there have been some problems.

Wow... what a wait! Super eager for for test and review comments to start rolling in...
Although apparently the troll comments are already on their way
TSAVJason: Any idea when they will arrive? Before or after the holidays?

Hey John!Does anyone know which DAC the MHA50 uses? Also, what is the case made from?
This looks very interesting to me ...

Hey John!
We were told it was a chocolate chip, getting upgraded soon to a croissant chip!
In all seriousness though, we called up McIntosh and they are calling up their engineers to find out. It is indeed an ESS Sabre chip, the specific chip model eludes us.
Also the case is made from a extruded aluminum if I heard right. Holding our unit, it is nice and cool to the touch and has a nice feel to it.
McIntosh only uses either the 8 channel or the 2 channel ES Sabre DAC. So it is the 2 channel DAC used in all McIntosh digital products. They have not confirmed which of the 3 series is being used of the Sabre DACs. The engineering department hasn’t responded to the question yet but we did reach out to get the answer
