Apologies about the shaky handheld video. It was supposed to be a really short video that ended up being quite lengthy. I may do a re-do with a tripod later.
IMO if you’re in the market for a McIntosh tuner these combo tuners/preamps are the best value because you’ll find you will use the tuner function less than you think but the preamp is worth its weight in gold for other devices.
good stuff. I have a Yamaha S2100 and it has no DAC either so it took me a bit to figure out the best combination I enjoyed since I wanted to use the balanced inputs on the unit. I went with the Cambridge streamer, its pretty good but I hate the controls on it so on the hunt for a new one now.
If you don't mind separates you can consider the RME ADI 2 DAC seen here in my video. It has a balanced out, parametric EQ, a remote and tons of other features I don't even use but I like it for its ease of use, flexibility and a clean neutral sound.

The look of vintage analog Mcintosh tuners is bar none the most exquisite.

@@vintagetannoy I'll check it out, I love separates so all good there, just need a decent streamer to match as well. Thanks for the info
I use MC 240 eith Tannoy Ardens and dknetimes Harbeth 40th.
How does the MX110 sound with the Marantz 8B?
Delicious! MX110+8B is one of the best preamp/amp pairing I have ever heard. It's my new favorite. 🙂
