Binghamton, NY – December 9, 2016 – McIntosh, the global leader in prestigious home entertainment and
ultimate-quality audio for over 65 years, is proud to introduce the
D1100 Digital Preamplifier and MP1100 Phono Preamplifier.
D1100 Digital PreamplifierThe
D1100 Digital Preamplifier is a reference level stereo preamplifier and
digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Its 8-channel, 32-bit DAC is used in
Quad Balanced mode with half of it dedicated to the left audio channel
and the other half to the right channel. It’s the most advanced DAC
McIntosh has ever used and delivers an unprecedented level of
performance so that all digital music is reproduced with exceptional
accuracy and authenticity.
Nine inputs are included to keep even the
largest digital system connected as 3 optical, 3 coaxial plus 1 each of
MCT, AES/EBU and USB inputs are onboard. The USB input accepts up to
32-bit/384kHz signals and supports DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DXD 352.8kHz
and DXD 384kHz playback. All the other inputs accept up to
24-bit/192kHz. Three sets of balanced and unbalanced stereo outputs
connect the D1100 to the rest of the audio system.
The D1100 is
designed for ease of use: all inputs can be renamed; its 4 data ports
and 4 power control triggers are fully programmable; and it has both IR
and RS232 external control. It’s housed in a beautifully polished
stainless steel and hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel
chassis. For personal listening, Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®)
brings a new depth and spatiality to music.
The D1100 is a full
featured, fully functional self-contained unit that can be used
independently of any other preamplifier. But thanks to McIntosh’s
engineering prowess, it can also be connected to and used in tandem with
its analog equivalent, the C1100 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier. Combining
the two together with the included umbilical cable creates the
definitive analog and digital stereo preamplifier. When connected, the
C1100 takes over all control of the D1100 resulting in a single and easy
to use interface.
MP1100 Phono PreamplifierThe
MP1100 Phono Preamplifier will give vinyl lovers a new level of musical
enjoyment and exhilaration. It’s filled to the brim with everything
needed to not only play records, but it will also get every last musical
note and nuance out of them – including some that may have never been
heard before.
The MP1100 is designed first and foremost for analog
audio and achieves our most accurate equalization ever. It utilizes four
12AX7A vacuum tubes, with 2 tubes used per channel in a fully balanced
configuration – making it our very first fully balanced vacuum tube
phono stage. It has 3 sets of RCA phono inputs with XLR connectors also
available on 1 of the inputs. All phono inputs allow for adjusting both
resistance (6 settings) and capacitance (8 settings). For ease of use,
it comes pre-programmed with profiles for Moving Coil and Moving Magnet
cartridges as well as the McIntosh MT10 and MT5 turntables. Five
additional profiles are included that are fully customizable and can be
assigned to any phono input. RIAA, LP, NAB, AES and 78 analog
equalization curves are included. Two fairly rare but highly useful
analog filters are built-in: a Rumble Filter helps remove noise that may
have seeped into a song during the recording process; while a Scratch
Filter can help restore the sound of frequently-played records that may
have become a little worn, or records that may have some damage.
Adjustable gain from 40dB to 64dB allows for further customization,
while a Mono setting permits proper playback of mono recordings. In
addition, there’s a pair each of balanced and unbalanced high level
inputs for connecting other sources. A pair each of balanced and
unbalanced fixed outputs round out the connections.
Not to completely
overlook digital audio, the MP1100 has an optical, coaxial and USB
output. They are fixed at 24-bits and can be set to either 96kHz or
192kHz. When used with a properly configured conversion program, the USB
output can be used to “rip” albums to a computer. Our digital output
clipping indicator will notify the user when distortion caused by loud
sections in a song is being recorded to the file, allowing settings to
be adjusted in order to create pristine, distortion free digital
versions of the album.
To combat noise, the MP1100 features a dual
mono design. It can be paired with any preamplifier, integrated
amplifier or home theater processor that includes volume control. An
ideal match is our C1100 Vacuum Tube Preamplifier which also has a dual
mono design; both also share the same polished stainless steel and
hairline brushed black Titanium stainless steel chassis to create a
cohesive system appearance.
