Description

The MA8950 Integrated Amplifier represents the pinnacle of McIntosh engineering, where decades of expertise meet groundbreaking innovation. With its doubled filter capacity, dynamic headroom has increased from 2.0dB to 3.1dB, enabling the MA8950 to reproduce musical peaks with exceptional clarity and minimal distortion while delivering astounding bass extension and control. It comes standard with the DA2 Digital Audio Module—featuring seven digital inputs (coaxial, optical, USB, MCT, and HDMI ARC) and supporting popular multi-channel formats from Dolby and DTS—ensuring seamless integration into any modern audio system. The DA2’s audiophile-grade, quad-balanced 32-bit DAC, with support for DSD playback up to DSD512, sets a new benchmark in digital fidelity, while its modular design offers future-proofing as digital audio technologies evolve.

Extensive analog connectivity—including a balanced input, six unbalanced inputs, and dedicated phono inputs for both Moving Coil and Moving Magnet cartridges—ensures effortless control and exceptional signal integrity, thanks to premium gold-plated solid brass connectors. Enhanced power supply components and robust control microprocessors deliver low noise and unrivaled reliability under demanding conditions, while a pair of McIntosh Autoformers ensure a full 200 watts per channel, regardless of speaker impedance. Recognized as Roon Tested by Roon Labs and wrapped in the timeless McIntosh aesthetic—with a black glass front panel, blue watt meters, precision control knobs, an illuminated logo, aluminum end caps, and a polished stainless steel chassis—the MA8950 is the definitive choice for those who demand nothing less than perfection.
