Overview
EFFORTLESS STREAMING MEETS HIGH-END AUDIO
The McIntosh DS200 Streaming DAC is the ultimate solution for music enthusiasts who demand the perfect blend of high-end audio quality and seamless streaming capabilities. This user-friendly streamer offers a variety of built-in casting technologies to play your streamed music.
No special control app or technical skills are needed to use the DS200. You can easily stream your favorite music directly to the DS200 from your smart device, while enjoying listening to it in premium sound quality on your home audio system through the built-in, high-end Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC).
EASY STREAMING
The DS200 is compatible with both Spotify® Connect and TIDAL® Connect, which let you stream your music seamlessly from the cloud straight to your devices. So if you use either of these music streaming services (including TIDAL HiFi Lossless Quality), then you can continue to use those apps on your phone or tablet and have the music streamed directly to the DS200. Your device then effectively becomes a remote control to adjust volume, song selection, and other playback features.
Additional streaming options included are Apple® AirPlay®, Bluetooth®, and Google Cast™ that allows for streaming directly from a smart device to the DS200. All of these wireless connection options makes it easy for guests to stream their favorite playlists to the DS200 during family events or parties.
The DS200 is equipped with two Wi-Fi antennas and one Bluetooth antenna for stable wireless connections, and an Ethernet port for wired connections. It is also Google Assistant compatible for voice control; simply speak to your Google Assistant control device to operate your DS200.1
For Bluetooth streaming, the DS200 utilizes Bluetooth 5.0, the high bitrate Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) standard, and Qualcomm® aptX™ HD for hi res audio playback. It also includes Qualcomm aptX Low Latency, which improves audio transmission speed to deliver sound in sync with applicable visual media.
AUDIOPHILE-GRADE DAC
The digital-to-analog portion of the DS200 that converts streamed digital music to analog format that can be played by your amplifier and speakers is powered by a next generation, Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit DAC. This audiophile-grade DAC features huge dynamic range and low distortion for pristine sound reproduction.
The DAC in the DS200 is also a Roon Ready endpoint device for use with the Roon music player. Roon brings all your music together and adds tons of data – bios, reviews, photos, lyrics, tour dates, and cross-linked credits for performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, and composers. Roon Ready network devices have Roon streaming technology built in and are certified by Roon to provide the highest level of quality and performance in network streaming. It has also received Roon Tested certification as it has been profiled by Roon to ensure simple setup and effortless daily use.
In addition to streaming, the DS200 features 8 digital audio inputs to connect audio components with digital audio outputs, such as a CD player or tuner. It supports high resolution digital audio playback, as its USB input supports native playback of up to DSD512 and DXD up to 384kHz, while the coax and optical inputs can decode digital music up to 24-bit/192kHz. With its HDMI (ARC) input, the DS200 is perfect for watching your favorite TV shows and movies with audio quality that TV speakers or soundbars just can't provide.2 Popular multi-channel audio formats from Dolby and DTS will be expertly converted to two-channel audio for proper playback.
The DS200 has a pair of balanced and unbalanced analog outputs to connect it to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. We offer both balanced cables and unbalanced cables to make these connections. It comes from the factory in fixed output mode, meaning the volume would be controlled by your preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or other component with volume control, but it does offer the option of setting its output to variable mode. Variable output mode allows the DS200 to be connected directly to a power amplifier in an audio system that only has digital audio sources, and the DS200 would control the volume.
A TRUE MCINTOSH IN EVERY WAY
The DS200 Streaming DAC is designed with timeless McIntosh aesthetics and high-quality materials, such as a black glass front faceplate, rotary control knobs, illuminated logo, and custom machined aluminum end caps. A Data IN port along with Power Control ports allow for seamless integration with other McIntosh components, while the RS232 Control port can be used in more advanced installations. A remote control is included.
