McIntosh MA5300 Integrated Amplifier Unboxed :: TLPCHC TLPWLG www.listeningpost.co.nz/Produ...

Big Sound Can Come in Small Packages...
The MA5300 is proof that big sound can come in small packages. It is McIntosh's smallest solid state integrated amplifier - in terms of both power output and physical size - making it an ideal choice for smaller spaces or for someone just beginning to assemble a home audio system.
It's a direct coupled amplifier that delivers 100 Watts per channel into 8 Ohm speakers or 160 Watts per channel into 4 Ohm speakers. New dual scale blue Watt meters give an accurate readout of power output for both 4 and 8 Ohm impedances.
Highlights...
2 x 100 watts of power amplification
New & improved McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks
Digital inputs are housed within an upgradable DA1 Digital Audio Module
Analogue inputs include 4 x Line Level RCA, 1 x Balanced, 1 x MM Phono
Digital inputs include 2 Coaxial, 2 Optical, 1 USB, 1 MCT input
Quad balanced 8-channel, 32-bit / 192 kHz DAC
Hi-Res digital music up to DSD256 & DXD 384kHz
New & improved control microprocessors
Full of McIntosh technological staples including Power Guard, Sentry Monitor, Home Theater PassThru, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) and Power Control
Connect virtually any source
The MA5300's complement of 12 inputs includes 6 analogue inputs (4 unbalanced, 1 balanced and 1 Moving Magnet input for turntables) and 6 digital inputs (2 each coaxial and optical, 1 USB and 1 proprietary MCT for use with our MCT series of SACD/CD Transports).
Upgradeable digital module
All digital inputs are housed in the DA1 Digital Audio Module, which can be replaced by future modules as new digital audio technologies are developed.
The DA1 comes with an 8-channel, 32-bit digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) used in Quad Balanced mode and supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz for high-resolution audio playback. All inputs can be given user-friendly names to simplify system control and configuration.
New McIntosh technology
Included on the MA5300 are our McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks which are connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate warm-up time so you can enjoy the MA5300's complete sonic capabilities from the moment you turn it on.
Powerful new control microprocessors have been used to improve overall system operation, along with some of the latest audio-grade circuit components to deliver the best possible sound. Bass and treble tone controls have been added to help you further fine tune your music to your personal preferences.
Rounding out the MA5300 are time tested McIntosh technologies including Power Guard, Sentry Monitor, Home Theater PassThru, High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD), and gold-plated speaker binding posts.

Technically yes, via the pre in/out, but adding and int amp (not a power amp) might be more practical.

I just reserved the MA 5200, the last one the dealer had. They had an open box unit for $700 US less, but i wanted a brand new never been used unit. Any difference in sound between the 5200 and the 5300 playing cd's and vinyl? Just curious.

@TLPCHC 5 жыл бұрын

The most obvious difference is the DAC modual. But there are small differences with the USB and control over the pre-amp (set up etc). Sonically, using the CD and Phono inputs I would not expect there to me a very obvious difference (IMO) but there are some small ones that 5300 owners will like.

Can a subwoofer (or two) be connected to this integrated amplifier?

@TLPCHC Жыл бұрын

Not easily - but yes. The Pre-Out / In could pass through a suitable Sub. It does not have triditional pre-outs or sub outs that would make this easier. The MA-252 and above have a sub or pre-out

Wow. 7000 GBP is $13,500.00 NZD. That is expensive, as this amp was $9,995 NZD when I did this video (5,200 GBP). It is McIntosh's cheapest amp though.... Their MA-9000 is $22,995 in NZD.

you do know packaging engineering is done by others, and been pretty much perfected for all products...From computers, to giant 80" tvs...AND better packaging engineering takes into account vol, for shipping costs, if you use unnecessarily large boxes you pay more for freight if you ship 1000 units, the trucking company charges weight, vol et, Packaging engineering is as much a science as anything else. The least amount of material, for protection required

@glwalcott With decent floorstanders, you don't need a subwoofer. Alternatively, you can use the pre outs into an active sub.

Looks beautiful. But the price is pretty high. Said only like 100 wpc on 8 ohms And 160 at 4 ohms. My speakers are 4 ohms 250 watts which i by amp. My receiver nad 7140with pre out and 2 nad 2200 amp that honestly push my speakers to limit and what i paid not even half what this thing cost. Is it worth spending this much money where you might need buy and amp for power hunger speakers????

@TLPCHC 4 жыл бұрын

There are many aspects to your question. Firstly Quality. Even a modest priced Arcam, Rotel or Moon would provide an overall better quality of sound compared to your old NAD. The McIntosh would sound astonishingly better (a true Holy S&%t moment). Then a question of wattage. No speaker ever responded badly to having a little more power.

have some fun sharing these great HiFi products, and chuck about the accessories and packaging to highlight that people often take things WAY too seriously in this industry. Nothing gets damaged. We are just trying to be relaxed about these video's. The product is always cared for, the packaging... well not so much.
