I love this. I love the styling of the lineage it was based on, and was looking for a tube headphone amp. I want to buy this.

Edit: on second thought... it isn't quite as beautiful as the 275 is it...

Susvara was one of them?
Diana Phi?

I don’t know if the Susvara was one

Another good thing is it isn’t $5500 either

Nice looking amp, I like the small footprint. I wonder if it can drive very low impedance IEMs ...

anything from 32-1000ohms .... @500

it’s got some power. It’s got transformers!

500 mw on any impedance?
I don't know... too light

 

[oniel459]

I’m a bit concerned about that too, at 500mW you can’t drive almost any planar with it

Veeery true, but at the same time do tube amps benefit planar headphones?

(I’ve been dynamic in my collection so far so I’m sorry if this is a noob question)

I've always loved mcintosh look. And this one is no exception.
Beautiful looking amp.

Can this drive the hifiman he6se?

$2500?
I just got the price in Europe: 3599€ which is 4333$.
That's over $1800 more!
McIntosh can keep their crap if they can't use a better pricing strategy.

McIntosh doesn’t determine the price set by its distributors. But that is a frigg’n high price.

I suppose that depends on the sound signature you prefer

That's unfortunate. Where did you hear that, if I may ask?
