McIntosh Laboratory Introduces The
MDA1000 D/A Converter
Binghamton, NY December 15, 2003—McIntosh Laboratory, a world leader in home entertainment systems
for over 53 years, introduces the MDA1000 D/A Converter.
All digital signals entering the MDA1000 are up-sampled to 768kHz/24-bit for improved resolution and S/N. A
total of eight selected Burr-Brown 24-bit DACS are at the heart of McIntosh’s new “Balanced/Parallel D/A
Circuit”, which represents a major improvement in the design of D/A converters.
The “Balanced” part of the new circuit cancels noise and distortion artifacts generated in the conversion process
and the “Parallel” part of the circuit reduces conversion step errors and improves linearity. The result is
unsurpassed recovery of the original information, preserving its musicality and protecting it from losses and
coloration through the conversion process.
The MDA1000 has 7 Digital Inputs: 3 Coaxial through RCA jacks, 3 Optical and 1 Balanced Digital through an
XLR jack. Balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) analog outputs, front panel volume control with optional
bypass function combine to make the MDA1000 yet another amazingly versatile product from the Design
Engineers at McIntosh.
