Socketry includes an HT bypass and pre-out. Input selection is via relays and both front panel knobs are rotary encoders. The digitally controlled analog volume control allows for different gain and attenuation for each input. MM/MC phono and coax/USB DAC boards will be optional. Pricing is expected to come in at ca. $5.000. |
Brian.......The ModWright KWI 200 looks very nice. It is interesting that the approach to implementing a DAC into the chassis is modular. The modular DAC board is a superior application versus McIntosh's permanently fixed DAC approach in their C48 and C50 preamps. This will allow the ModWright component to remain current as technology advances, providing ModWright makes new DAC boards available as DAC improvements roll out. In my opinion, McIntosh should have designed their preamp DACs to be modular. The ModWright KWI 200 looks like it will be a winner.
