Total harmonic distortion is held to 0.005% and the damping factor exceeds 200 into 8 ohms, giving the MSA5500 the control required by demanding loudspeakers. Power Guard and Sentry Monitor protect both the amplifier and the loudspeakers connected to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStreaming is built in across Wi-Fi 6, Apple AirPlay 2, Google Cast, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX Adaptive, with Roon Ready certification for library playback. A quad balanced 32-bit\/384 kHz DAC handles conversion for the coaxial, optical, USB and HDMI ARC inputs, and a moving magnet phono stage and high-drive headphone amplifier with HXD crossfeed complete the input and output set. The dual blue watt meters, monogrammed heatsinks and Solid Cinch binding posts carry the McIntosh identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100 watts per channel into 8 ohms, 160 watts into 4 ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad balanced 32-bit\/384 kHz PCM and DSD DAC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWi-Fi 6 streaming with AirPlay 2 and Google Cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpotify, TIDAL and Qobuz Connect built in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoon Ready and Roon Tested certified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD and aptX Adaptive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoving magnet phono input for turntable connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHDMI ARC input for television audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-drive headphone amplifier with HXD crossfeed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Guard and Sentry Monitor protection circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubwoofer output and Home Theater PassThru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual blue watt meters and monogrammed heatsinks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product comes with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #0f527f;\"\u003eWhy Consider the McIntosh MSA5500\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MSA5500 replaces a streamer, a DAC, a phono stage, a headphone amplifier and an integrated amplifier with a single component, without the compromises usually attached to that consolidation.
