- #McIntosh #C2700Preamplifier #Unboxed. First look, Hands on. Following in a long line of revered McIntosh vacuum tube preamplifiers is the C2700 Tube Preamplifier. Using Mcintosh's well-established vacuum tube topology, the C2700 also features our advanced DA2 Digital Audio Module technology to combine cutting edge digital music capabilities with time tested vacuum tube performance.
A worthy successor to the popular DA1 Digital Audio Module, the DA2 features an expanded set of capabilities. The DA2 offers 7 digital inputs including all the same connections found on the DA1 (2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT) plus a new audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) connection. TVs with a compatible HDMI (ARC) output can be connected to the C2700 to enjoy your TV’s sound through your home audio system. Popular multi-channel audio formats from Dolby® and DTS® are supported and will be expertly converted to 2-channel audio for proper playback. The C2700 remote can control the TV’s power and volume when CEC communication is enabled in both the preamplifier and the TV. Besides these new HDMI (ARC) features found in the DA2, its USB input has increased DSD playback support up to DSD512 compared to the DSD256 limit of the DA1.

Great video, have a question, which would you chose a Devialet 440 Expert Pro or a McIntosh MA9000 integrated Amp?
I’m running a pair of Kef Reference 3 speakers and Chord Sarum T speaker cable.
Top and back are beautiful
Anyone know how to set this up to power on from an external trigger? I have an AVM70 that triggers the surround amp to power on no problems but I cannot make heads or tails of the trigger instructions for this.
Page 16 of the user manual is ALL about trigger settings and set up
@@TLPCHC yea I get that but it doesn't lay out how to setup the trigger to turn on the 2700 it seems to be more about the 2700 turning on other things which I've got all set. I did contact support and they've given me some things to try.
I don't think it is designed to trigger on. It triggers other items on
@@TLPCHC according to them, it is possible. I'll try what they've told me and let you know.
My bust guess... us the "Main" 3.5mm power control socket (and see how you go)
