#CROSSFEED HEADPHONE PORTABLE#

Euros? TBC.In 2014, we introduced Hugo, a revolutionary portable DAC and headphone amp that became a landmark product in the audio landscape. Pricing says hello in the UK at ВЈ2795 (shipping starts in April) or in the USA at US$2500 (shipping starts in March). The MHA 200 is a conversation piece, its small form factor exuding the rarest of aesthetic qualities: understated luxury for the working man. And letвЂ™s not forget that some people just love tubes. Some might even appreciate the large vintage-style McIntosh logo that runs along the side of the unitвЂ™s half-width, custom-formed and polished stainless steel chassis. Others will dig that the MHA 200 is hand-made in the USA and that all transformers are wound in-house. Prospective buyers will be pulled toward the MHA 200 by McIntoshвЂ™s pedigree: the company is one of the worldвЂ™s longest-running and most respected amplifier manufacturers.

We know not yet how the MHA 200 will sound but (wait for it) sound quality isnвЂ™t everything when making a purchasing decision. вЂRound back is where we feed the MHA200 an analogue signal: single-ended RCA or balanced XLR. On headphone connectivity, we note a raft of options on the front-panel: 1) separate L and R balanced XLR socket 2) a stereo balanced XLR socket and 3) a 6.4mm single-ended socket. ItвЂ™s a technology that McIntosh has been using in (some of its) amplifiers since 1949. The all-new MHA 200 is more of a puristвЂ™s take on headphone amplification: a pair of 12AT7 tubes amplify the incoming audio signal and a pair of 12BH7A tubes provide the power required by the Unity Coupled Circuit output transformers whose secondary windings reportedly deliver the same power (500mW) to the headphones, irrespective of their input impedance. And the first not to feature an internal DAC, loudspeaker binding posts or вЂCrossfeed DirectorвЂ™. McIntosh has this week announced the MHA 200: the companyвЂ™s first headphone amplifier to be built around a tube circuit.
