Headphone amplifier and integrated amplifier.

The McIntosh MHA100 is a high-quality headphone amplifier, one of the latest additions to the brand, known for its premium audio products. Designed as a hybrid solution, it combines a high-power headphone amplifier and a stereo integrated amplifier in one device, intended to offer an exceptional personal listening experience.

The build is robust, featuring a stainless steel chassis and an illuminated glass front panel, providing both durability and elegance.

It offers a wide range of inputs, both analog and digital, including USB, optical, and coaxial, supporting high-resolution music files up to 32-bit/192 kHz. The headphone outputs are designed to accommodate different impedances, with a selectable option allowing you to choose between three impedance ranges for optimal performance with your headphones. Additionally, the amplifier is equipped with the Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) technology, which enhances the spatiality of the sound, making the headphone listening experience similar to what you would hear with conventional speakers.

With a power output of 50 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the integrated stereo amplifier ensures solid and detailed performance, while the Power Guard circuit protects both the headphones and speakers from damaging volume spikes. The audio quality is exceptional, with a wide and precise soundstage that stands out for its clarity across the entire frequency range.

The MHA100 is designed to be versatile, compatible with various devices and sources. Its construction and features make it an ideal component for those looking to build a high-end audio system.
