Building upon the C2300 and C2500 – two of the most successful McIntosh vacuum tube preamplifiers – is the C2600, which incorporates the best of the previous models while adding McIntosh’s advanced digital audio section and upgraded tube circuitry design.

The C2600 is a versatile preamplifier with an expansive set of 16 inputs to connect virtually all analog or digital music sources. Analog inputs include 3 balanced, 4 unbalanced, plus 1 each dedicated Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) phono inputs. Digital inputs consist of 3 optical, 2 coax, 1 USB and 1 McIntosh exclusive MCT connection. Three sets of balanced and unbalanced analog outputs connect the C2600 to the rest of the system.

The C2600 features a 32-bit/384kHz, DSD digital-to-analog-converter (DAC), and is capable of decoding and playing DSD64, DSD128, and DSD256, plus DXD 352.8kHz and DXD 384kHz.

For headphone listening, the addition of Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®) brings an added dimension to the music. Home Theater Pass Thru allows for seamless integration into a multi-channel home theater system.
