Mcintosh MDA-1000

The MDA1000 is a superior D/A converter with multiple inputs, based on an advanced, balanced/parallel design for unparalleled sonic clarity. Seven digital inputs guarantee compatibility with a wide range of digital components. The correct sampling rate, from 32 to 96kHz, is automatically selected, resulting in uniform, perfect sound quality from any digital source. Exceptionally good channel separation of over 100dB (1kHz) provides a razor-sharp soundstage. Standard compact discs are oversampled (upsampling) to a resolution of 24 bits at 768kHz via an ingenious balanced/parallel topology that makes use of no fewer than eight 24-bit analog-to-digital converters. The MDA1000 has been awarded a 'Recommended Components' rating by Sterophile Magazine, and named Secrets of HT and HiFi Best of 2005.
