Fantastic summary Jon! Thanks for posting.

@ripewave Месяц назад

Glad you enjoyed the content. -Jon

@desbarry8414 Месяц назад

$6000 what a rip off. Better buying a top of the line AVR from Onkyo/Pioneer or Yamaha. Nice video though.

@ripewave Месяц назад

There are qualities that a McIntosh possess that go beyond the standard feature checklist. If you are looking for a high value product, Onkyo is hard to beat. -Jon

@MSiAventador Месяц назад

For $6000, it should have a large OLED display and animations with real images of system components that are downloaded from the Internet, current voltages and temperatures.

@ripewave Месяц назад

For must brands I would with the large display and modern graphics suggestion. However, the McIntosh brand is built on its look that have been consistent for decades. If they were to incorporate a large display, I wonder how they will merge into their time honored design. I agree that having status of voltages and temperatures etc. would be a very nice perk for this price. -Jon

Wow, great summary. I was looking for a summary like this. I just put a downpayment on an MX200, plus a MI254 (amp) and a MC275 (for my 2 channel desire and I just love the way McIntosh tubes look). However, after watching this, I am wondering if the MHT300 would be the way to go (vice a 200 and the 254), or do I get better quality from the separates? The 300 would require a phono preamp also. Thoughts?

Great review! However, I’m a little disappointed in McIntosh. Sure, the HDMI 2.1 and Dirac Live are nice (and I’d say mandatory) upgrades, but not including XLR outputs for the subwoofer is a strange decision. Subwoofers are usually placed the furthest away and could really benefit from balanced signals. The lack of detailed DAC specs is also disappointing, though not surprising. Then there’s the pricing...this unit will go for €8,000 in Europe, which is way too much! Especially considering it offers zero connectivity for streaming, meaning you’ll need a separate streamer. One thing that stands out to me is the design: when you look inside, the HDMI board only has a tiny heatsink, whereas the competition uses multiple, much larger heatsinks. Even though the competition does have more HDMI connections, it makes me wonder if McIntosh is using different chips for their HDMI board.

@ripewave 29 дней назад

I am with you on price, missing XLR subwoofer outputs and their usual limited details about internal components. As for an internal streamer capability, my feeling is that McIntosh doesn’t have a lot of internal software developers as their history has been focused on hardware design. Given their hardware expertise, I would imagine they have performed sufficient thermal analysis on the HDMI board to determine the require heat sync for the chips used. If they are using different HDMI chips that do not generate as much heat, that is good. Furthermore, popular chips from Novoton still have issues that won’t be resolved till their next generation estimated for 2026 production. Not enough detail to know what McIntosh selected and no details on HDMI 2.1 feature support which is also disappointing. -Jon

@venus263 Месяц назад

Nice comparison. Still out of reach of most consumers. Is it worthwhile going for an older model, say the MX160 🤔 ?

@ripewave Месяц назад

McIntosh product hold their value over time well. Some like just to have their classic look and the build quality and their long term support is excellent. If you can live without the latest features - yes. -Jon

@phattape2 Месяц назад

Good product for your money

@ripewave Месяц назад

You get the value that McIntosh delivers on top of the feature checklist. -Jon

The Marantz Cinema 50 is listed as supporting 120hz and VRR, however, the On Screen Display (when hitting info button) *can not* function above 60hz. If you try to bring that up in a 120hz mode it will blank the screen and interrupt content to switch modes to 60hz (and slowly I might add) and then display info at that point. When it tries to go back to 120hz mode after that point it will sometimes fail to re-sync with 120hz and show an invalid format warning in some cases. I have called support about this and unfortunately this is more or less expected behavior. Extremely disappointing. If the unit being reviewed here behaves similarly I simply couldn’t imagine recommending it. If you get a chance to ask this question of McIntosh, I would love to know the answer.

@ripewave Месяц назад

I appreciate you sharing your experience. Yes, the 120hz support is independent of the VRR support so the fact you are not getting support across all rates, doesn’t surprise me. What I would like to see is more clarity from brands on supported modes. I suspect that all brands will have similar limitations. -Jon

@williamhicks2763 Месяц назад

It looks like a nice unit and would fit in nice with other McIntosh gear of course. Assuming it sounds great my main concern is the lack of HDR 10+. For the price, it feels like it should have HDR 10+ and Auro3D. Everything else I really like and I do not mind the absence of streaming services at all. I would love to know where it places on your sound quality chart. Besides just someone wanting to match their other McIntosh gear, it would be hard to justify unless it blows everything at that price out of the water on sound quality.

@ripewave Месяц назад

Fair assessment - great sound quality will be essential to entice new McIntosh owners

@pablomartindominguez7595 8 дней назад

No info on the potential to employ Dirac DLBC? Not being able to take the correction would be a massive miss.

@ripewave 8 дней назад

For their caliber of product, I believe having Dirac Live Bass Control option is important. -Jon

@pablomartindominguez7595 8 дней назад

@@ripewave, I understand ART integration comes with a lot of complexities, but having hardware capable of eventually being able to use it when we are talking about the direct competence working on it is another miss. If the user does not want the complications, it´s absolutely fine, but if they do, it should be there.

@ripewave 8 дней назад

So far I am only aware of Storm Audio support ART. If anyone knows which brands are supporting (and just not claiming it will be coming) that would be helpful. -Jon
