True but since the MHA100 and MXA70 are apparently 100% identical, then if they had offered HD Radio on the MXA70 then those outside the US could then just buy the MHA100 instead. Sort of how they offer the MAC6700 receiver in the US and the MA6700 integrated amp elsewhere which is the same thing as the MAC6700 minus the TM-2 tuner module.

I'm hoping Mcintosh designed and built this from the ground up to justify the 6500 price tag. |

It is a McIntosh modified Autonomics Mirage MSS-5A. It uses the same motherboard as the Mirage which is why all those ports are 100% identical but instead of using the cheap DAC on the motherboard it's using the DAC from the D100 on a separate board along with a modified analog section. Even the enclosure is the same size. It looks bigger from the front due to the glass panel overhang. One could argue that this is more than they did to differentiate the MS300/700 models from their Escient counterparts but it's still based and reliant upon on another companies design which is troubling, especially since what it's based on isn't especially compelling to begin with.

MXA5200 = MA5200 + pair of XR50's MXA7900 = MA7900 + pair of XR100's MXA8000 = MA8000 + pair of XR200's Maybe also a pairing of the MHA100 + MHP1000 headphones. I like it. |

Correct. What was the price difference between the Escient and McIntosh models at the time? With those they didn't even upgrade the DAC or make any changes at all really, other than cosmetic.
