McIntosh MHA 100 Headphone Amplifier

McIntosh MHA 100 lightly used virtually as-new headphone amplifier.  New retail  $4500.  
from the McIntosh web site:
The MHA100 is the first dedicated headphone amplifier from McIntosh and takes advantage of unique McIntosh technologies to yield the best possible personal listening experiences regardless of the headphones you use.  It employs a new  adaptation of our unique Autoformer technology to produce three headphone impedance ranges of 8-40, 40-150 and 150-600 ohms so that every headphone- from ear buds to studio quality phones-will receive the optimal McIntosh sound.

It features our new Headphone Crossfield Director (HXD) to allow high quality recordings to image like conventional speakers in your headphones, bringing new depth and spatiality to your music. Four digital inputs allow the McIntosh Digital Engine to decode your digital music at up to 32 bits and 192kHz for maximum analog fidelity and enjoyment.  Two analog inputs are also available.
