Description

The MA5300 embodies McIntosh’s unwavering commitment to uncompromised audio performance. This direct-coupled amplifier delivers 100 watts per channel into 8-ohm loads—or 160 watts into 4-ohm—while dual-scale blue watt meters provide precise, real-time power readouts. Its versatile input section features 12 connections, including six analog (four unbalanced, one balanced, and one dedicated to turntables) and six digital (two each coaxial and optical, plus one USB and one proprietary MCT), all integrated into McIntosh’s advanced DA1 Digital Audio Module with an 8-channel, 32-bit DAC operating in quad balanced mode. Every input can be intuitively named for effortless system control.

Engineered for peak performance, the MA5300 incorporates custom McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks and high-current output transistors to eliminate warm-up time, ensuring optimal sound from the first note. Enhanced microprocessors and premium audio-grade components, along with newly added bass and treble tone controls, enable precise tuning to your personal preferences. Time-tested features like Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, Home Theater PassThru, and the High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) complement gold-plated binding posts, all showcased in the classic McIntosh aesthetic of blue watt meters, a sleek black glass front panel with aluminum end caps, and an illuminated logo.
