McIntosh has released the MHA200 tube headphone amplifier
God thats ugly.
I wouldn’t kick it out of my bed(side table).
Wouldn’t get in the front door at my place.
Why didn’t they include the crossfeed director option they have in their other preamps?
Sometimes McIntosh just baffles me…
Would love this next my chair in the living room, and could be used as a hand warmer in the winter when not listening to music but I do not think my pension would stretch enough to buy one .
Rotter you beat me to it, guess I’ll get gloves
I purchased this recently and it sounds quite good in the following configuration at the bedside: Synology DS116 NAS > Intel NUC7i7BNH Mini PC (Roon Core) > Chord 2Go/Hugo 2 (fixed line level) > McIntosh MHA200 Headphone Amp > Audeze LCD-X 2021 (Roon DSP Preset)
I have this and it is an amazing little amp with great tube sound and power output. There are online complaints about the non-linear volume control. Doesn’t bother me at all, but it bothers some.
