MA5300 Integrated Amplifier

The McIntosh MA5300 is a solid-state integrated amplifier sized for a focused two-channel system while retaining McIntosh source and control flexibility. Its direct-coupled output stage delivers 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms or 160 watts per channel into 4 ohms.

Twelve analog and digital inputs include moving-coil and moving-magnet phono connections and the DA1 Digital Audio Module. The module supports files through 24-bit/192kHz and DSD256 and can be replaced by the DA2, while balanced and unbalanced outputs and a subwoofer output support future system expansion.
