McIntosh C53 er en ny utgave av den kritikerroste forgjengeren C52.
Her har de implementert den nye DAC-modulen "DA2 Digital Audio Module", som blant annet har fått en HDMI ARC-inngang, slik at den kan implementeres som en high end løsning for tvlyd også.
den nye DAC-modulen er i tillegg modulær, så om det dukker opp en DA3 på noe tidspunkt, så kan enheten oppgraderes for å støtte det som måtte komme av spennende funksjoner der.
Dette gjør at man kan nyte den fantastiske lyden av MvIntosh, i årevis fremover.

The C53 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 our current solid state integrated amplifiers, the C53 stereo preamplifier features an upgradeable digital audio module. But unlike our integrated amplifiers that use our DA1 Digital Audio Module, the C53 is the first to use our new, more advanced DA2 Digital Audio Module.
