The new MHA100 is out! Stay tuned for a world exclusive!
AWESOME!!
Congratulations @raulcf77 !!
I agree the D100's headphone output is not in the high-end league - but it is nice. I love it driving my Grado 325i's for example.
But the DAC is first-rate! Running balanced into my Cavalli Liquid Gold - WHOAH!!!!
CEntrance actually provided the USB implementation for the USB DAC - and the D100 is now a part of my top reference rig!!
I had so much fun writing our REVIEW for Audio360.org
SO happy for you.
Welcome to club McIntosh (IF its your first MAC)
Thanks @mikemercer
I´m not new in the McIntosh club (I already own a C2300 pre and a MC275 mkV power amp)
The headphone amp is true that works very good with Grado´s, even I like them more than with the Auralic Taurus; isnt in the hi-end league but more than enough even for Sennheiser HD800,
Good review by the way!
One question: si this "Stunning" d100 DAC the one that is inside the new $ 5000 HEADPHONE AMP MODEL MHA 100 ??
Hmmmm
I don't believe so - but my buddy has the Bryston (I think its a BDA-2) - and I can ask him!!
Want me to see of I can do that comparison??
And DON'T WORRY: If the Bryston end up doing a better job I'll admit to it!
McIntosh retains its value better than any audio products out there!!!!
Well Mike is dead right!
The paring of the D100 and Studio Six is a match made in heaven. I thought I loved my Hugo but this pairing is just delicous. I understand what Mike was saying in his review, I can't stop listening to music. I thought I would miss DSD but I don't care actually 99% of my stuff is 16/44.
The sound is rock solid my immediate impression was the greater weight and separation of the music. Its such a musical combination. Now I am think about USB cables.....
