Performance Features• Shielded 768kHz Up Sampling Module The McIntosh designed Up Sampling Module converts all of the incoming Digital Signals to the higher frequency of 768kHz with 24Bit resolution before the Digital to Analog process begins. • Shielded 24 Bit Digital to Analog Circuits The MDA1000 utilizes McIntosh’s own specially designed 24-bit Balanced Parallel Digital to Analog Converter Circuitry operating at 768kHz. This offers the widest possible dynamic range, lowest noise level and extremely low distortion. All of this produces sound quality that is truly exceptional. • Special Analog Filter and Output Amplifier The third order Butterworth gentle slope analog filter removes any remaining digital artifacts from the output signal. The low impedance Output Amplifer drives both the Balanced and Unbalanced Output Connections. • Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs Balanced connections guard against induced noise and allow long cable runs without compromising sound quality. There are also Unbalanced connections for components without Balanced Inputs. • Precision Tracking Volume Control Volume levels are controlled by a Precision Digitally Controlled Attenuator System with a tracking accuracy of 0.1dB. There is also a Volume Control Bypass Mode for a fixed output level. • Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display The Multifunction Front Panel Display indicates the Source Selection, Volume Levels and the Setup Mode Selections. The displays intensity is fully adjustable. • Digital Inputs with Title Reassignment The MDA1000 has provisions for three Coaxial Digital puts, three Optical Digital Inputs and one XRL Balanced Digital Input. Any of the seven inputs can have their Input Title reassigned to match the sources connected to the MDA1000. • Precision Parts Only the finest precision 1% tolerance metal film resistors and 5% tolerance Polyfilm Fliter Capacitors are used throughout. • Low Distortion Distortion levels of all types are less than 0.002%. Music is amplified with total transparency and accuracy. • Remote Power, Data Control and External IR Input Remote Power Control In/Out allows the MDA1000 to turn On/Off with a McIntosh Audio Control Center. The Data Port Input allows Remote Control Operation from another McIntosh Component. The IR Input allows for the connection of an IR Receiver. • Remote Control Operation A Remote Control is included that allows for complete control of major functions. • Glass Front Panel The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel with a three dimensional look ensures the pristine beauty of the MDA1000 will be retained for many years. • Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination The Illumination of the Front Panel is accomplished by the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This provides even Front Panel Illumination, together with the extra long life LEDs. • Machined Top and Side Panels The Top and Side of the MDA1000 are machined from thick aluminum panels with a smooth black anodized finish. In the recessed area of the Top Panel is a screened glass panel with a block diagram of the MDA1000’s circuitry. • Special Power Supply A fully regulated Power Supply with a special R-Core Power Transformer, ensures stable noise free operation even though the power line varies. InstallationThe MDA1000 can be placed upright on a table or shelf standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the MDA1000 when it is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together with the mounting screws should be retained for possible future use if the MDA1000 is removed from the custom installation and used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown. Always provide adequate ventilation for your MDA1000. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MDA1000 directly above a heat generating component such as a high powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the system components at the coolest possible operating temperature. A custom cabinet installation should provide the following minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.54cm) on each side of the D/A Converter, so that airflow is not obstructed. Allow 17 inches (43.18cm) depth behind the front panel. Allow 1-1/8 inch (2.9cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.

IntroductionThe new McIntosh MDA1000 D/A Converter offers a highly refined Balanced/Parallel Circuit utilizing eight of Burr Brown’s most sophisticated 24 Bit Digital to Analog (D/A) chips. Combine a MDA1000 with a McIntosh MCD1000 CD Transport and you will enjoy a playback system of unparalleled performance. Performance Features• Shielded 768kHz Up Sampling Module The McIntosh designed Up Sampling Module converts all of the incoming Digital Signals to the higher frequency of 768kHz with 24Bit resolution before the Digital to Analog process begins. • Shielded 24 Bit Digital to Analog Circuits The MDA1000 utilizes McIntosh’s own specially designed 24-bit Balanced Parallel Digital to Analog Converter Circuitry operating at 768kHz. This offers the widest possible dynamic range, lowest noise level and extremely low distortion. All of this produces sound quality that is truly exceptional. • Special Analog Filter and Output Amplifier The third order Butterworth gentle slope analog filter removes any remaining digital artifacts from the output signal. The low impedance Output Amplifer drives both the Balanced and Unbalanced Output Connections. • Balanced and Unbalanced Outputs Balanced connections guard against induced noise and allow long cable runs without compromising sound quality. There are also Unbalanced connections for components without Balanced Inputs. • Precision Tracking Volume Control Volume levels are controlled by a Precision Digitally Controlled Attenuator System with a tracking accuracy of 0.1dB. There is also a Volume Control Bypass Mode for a fixed output level. • Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display The Multifunction Front Panel Display indicates the Source Selection, Volume Levels and the Setup Mode Selections. The displays intensity is fully adjustable. • Digital Inputs with Title Reassignment The MDA1000 has provisions for three Coaxial Digital puts, three Optical Digital Inputs and one XRL Balanced Digital Input. Any of the seven inputs can have their Input Title reassigned to match the sources connected to the MDA1000. • Precision Parts Only the finest precision 1% tolerance metal film resistors and 5% tolerance Polyfilm Fliter Capacitors are used throughout. • Low Distortion Distortion levels of all types are less than 0.002%. Music is amplified with total transparency and accuracy. • Remote Power, Data Control and External IR Input Remote Power Control In/Out allows the MDA1000 to turn On/Off with a McIntosh Audio Control Center. The Data Port Input allows Remote Control Operation from another McIntosh Component. The IR Input allows for the connection of an IR Receiver. • Remote Control Operation A Remote Control is included that allows for complete control of major functions. • Glass Front Panel The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel with a three dimensional look ensures the pristine beauty of the MDA1000 will be retained for many years. • Fiber Optic Solid State Front Panel Illumination The Illumination of the Front Panel is accomplished by the combination of custom designed Fiber Optic Light Diffusers and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This provides even Front Panel Illumination, together with the extra long life LEDs. • Machined Top and Side Panels The Top and Side of the MDA1000 are machined from thick aluminum panels with a smooth black anodized finish. In the recessed area of the Top Panel is a screened glass panel with a block diagram of the MDA1000’s circuitry. • Special Power Supply A fully regulated Power Supply with a special R-Core Power Transformer, ensures stable noise free operation even though the power line varies. InstallationThe MDA1000 can be placed upright on a table or shelf standing on its four feet. It also can be custom installed in a piece of furniture or cabinet of your choice. The four feet may be removed from the bottom of the MDA1000 when it is custom installed as outlined below. The four feet together with the mounting screws should be retained for possible future use if the MDA1000 is removed from the custom installation and used free standing. The required panel cutout, ventilation cutout and unit dimensions are shown. Always provide adequate ventilation for your MDA1000. Cool operation ensures the longest possible operating life for any electronic instrument. Do not install the MDA1000 directly above a heat generating component such as a high powered amplifier. If all the components are installed in a single cabinet, a quiet running ventilation fan can be a definite asset in maintaining all the system components at the coolest possible operating temperature. A custom cabinet installation should provide the following minimum spacing dimensions for cool operation. Allow at least 2 inches (5.08cm) above the top, 2 inches (5.08cm) below the bottom and 1 inch (2.54cm) on each side of the D/A Converter, so that airflow is not obstructed. Allow 17 inches (43.18cm) depth behind the front panel. Allow 1-1/8 inch (2.9cm) in front of the mounting panel for knob clearance. Be sure to cut out a ventilation hole in the mounting shelf according to the dimensions in the drawing.
