And nobody has more experience with high-performance analog design than McIntosh. The D150 brings world-renowned McIntosh sound quality to the latest high-res digital audio formats. Along with its sonic attributes, the D150 boasts the classic McIntosh look black glass front panel, big metal knobs, and illuminated logo. And this gorgeous preamp is designed and built right here in the USA. Hear what you've been missing from high-res digital files With 6 audio inputs, the D150 is a versatile digital preamp. Or, you can use it as a high-performance DAC. An array of inputs give you access to the D150's advanced digital-to-analog converter (DAC). This is an 8-channel DAC chip configured to operate with four channels per stereo channel. All that processing power will provide a revelatory improvement to the sound from your computer, disc player, music streamer, or TV. The D150's optical and coaxial digital inputs support high-res music files up to 24-bit/192kHz. And its USB input handles even higher-resolution files: up to 32-bit/384kHz for PCM, as well as DSD and DXD formats. And speaking of DSD, the D150 is one of only a handful of components with a digital DSD input. It means that you can play SACD discs on theMcIntosh MCT500 SACD/CD Transportand send the DSD bitstream to the D150's superb DAC for decoding. A preamp/DAC you can use as a preamp...ora DAC If your music system is built around digital sources, the D150 is probably all the preamp you need. Just connect the D150'svariable-leveloutputs to your amplifier and you're good to go. You'll use the D150's remote to control volume and other functions, just as you'd expect. But if you also listen to analog sources, and already have a preamp or A/V pre/pro you like, you can still take advantage of the D150's superb DAC section. Connect all your digital music sources to the D150, then use itsfixed-leveloutputs to connect to your preamp. In that situation, volume level is controlled via your preamp.
