- Extraordinarily Flexible Reference Pre-Amp The #McIntosh #C53 #Unboxed Preamplifier is ready to serve in your home audio system for many years - even decades - all while delivering unmatched audio quality. Following the digital audio precedent set in their current solid state integrated amplifiers, the C53 stereo preamplifier features an upgradeable digital audio module. The C53 is the first to use our new, more advanced DA2 Digital Audio Module.
In addition to the 7 digital inputs found in the DA2 module, the C53 also has 9 analog inputs, giving it a nearly inexhaustible number of 16 total inputs for connecting all your music sources. The analog inputs consist of 3 balanced and 4 unbalanced connections, plus 1 Moving Coil and 1 Moving Magnet phono inputs for plugging in your trusted turntable. Outputs include 3 variable balanced and unbalanced connections along with 1 fixed unbalanced connection.
Tone controls include an 8-band analog equalizer; each band can be adjusted ± 12dB so you can fine tune your music just the way you like. Our High Drive Headphone Amplifier can power virtually any pair of headphones, while Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) can bring an added dimension to your music. Home Theater Pass Through lets the C53 be seamlessly integrated into your home theater system. Power Control ports let you easily turn other connected McIntosh components on and off, while the Data Ports can send remote control commands to connected source components.
The C53 is one of many McIntosh products to receive Roon Tested designation from Roon Labs. It has been profiled and tested by both Roon and McIntosh for maximum compatibility. Roon will recognize it and send it audio optimized for its capabilities. No fiddling with checkboxes or dropdowns, Roon Tested devices are automatically identified and configured out of the box for a superior customer experience.
All this audio technology is packaged inside the C53’s classic McIntosh design featuring a black glass front panel backlit by direct LED lighting, blue meters, rotary knobs, an illuminated logo and aluminum end caps. An attractive polished stainless steel chassis finishes the distinguished look. It can be paired with an assortment of amplifiers, CD players, turntables, tuners, media streamers, room correction devices and speakers to complete your home audio system. Contact your local dealer to learn more.

Your unboxig videos are the best sir. I always get a kick out of how you discard the packing materials. It is clear you have opened hundreds of these products. Excellent descriptions as well. Looking forward to having a wonderful Mcintosh system in the future.
Beautiful, the look of these never gets old!
Such a classic style and stunning pre-amp
Thanks for mentioning the capabilities of the HDMI input. I have been researching this for months and was unable to verify if a CD/SACD or Blu-ray player with an audio only HDMI output could be connected. Well done.
Happy to have helped
this guy likes throwing things around!
Yes - I do.
Put all the weight on the front knobs! Brilliant!
It is light
@@TLPCHC I hope that is your unit.
Yes - It is
How many of these units would you expect to shift in a typical years trading?
Not many. 2 - 3 a year per store
If you had to pick one between C53 and C2700, which one would you choose?
C-2700 is my personal preference.
Great video.
Question please: I’m with an McIntosh A/V processor but using mainly streaming stereo mode.
What’s preferred: adding a stereo preamp or upgrade my Blusound node streamer ? Thanks.

You use the front panel to support the whole machine! 🥺
It is superbly well built. It has no issue with doing this
magnifique!
Thanks View52
when can you do Audio Research?
We don't stock Audio Research, so don't / won't do video's for them.
It looked like you balanced it on the front plate controls. I hope I saw that wrong because that would be gay.
Why?
Why do you throw the continents of the box like their worthless?
I hope you are not selling these items to the general public as new because now their damaged🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Obviously the packaging is undamaged, completely intact and ready to go. But if you are offended by how I fling a box and think the main unit is some how damaged or devalued becasue of that, then I will continue to offend you in ALL my video's!
I can't believe you set this on the front controls. You have no clue or do you care. I would never purchase anything from your store. You should be unboxing Ikea furniture. Lol
Nope. Watch this again. I rock it forward onto the front panels "wings". At no point do the front controls touch the table.
