Very flexible and great for anyone with a turntable, especially with a motorcycle pickup. While the MM input is set to 47 kOhm load, the MC input load impedance can be set to 50, 100, 200, 400 or 1000 Ohm. However, it does not have streaming, but four digital inputs, one USB and one input for McIntosh CD transports with MCT output (SACD / DSD input), one balanced input, five unbalanced inputs, and one input each for Moving Coil and Moving Magnet pickups. The McIntosh amplifier meets the needs of many. Although not on the number of connections. If you get a Devialet Expert 220 Pro for the same price as an MA7200, the excellent Ayre EX-8 – also with DAC – is in the same price range, and there are Naim combinations that can challenge it in terms of sound quality.
The two McIntosh amplifiers are definitely in the heavyweight class, where the competition is tough. Replaceable DAC module and enough inputs for most. But the joy of playing also springs from little brother, who has bass and treble control instead of eq, and lacks the large handles that the over 10 kilos heavier and even larger MA9000 is equipped with.
