Description (official data):
The McIntosh C8 is a stereo tube preamplifier that combines classic McIntosh technology with a compact and elegant design, ideal for hi-fi enthusiasts.

The DA2 digital audio module is McIntosh's newest and most advanced digital audio processing module. It offers a range of advanced features and features two coaxial connectors, two optical connectors, one USB connector, one MCT connector, and one HDMI (ARC) connector. The DA2's USB input supports native playback of up to DSD512 and DXD up to 384 kHz.
