McIntosh’s MSA5500 Leans Into Smaller Acoustical Environments and Streaming
McIntosh's new MSA5500 is designed for smaller living spaces while boasting compatibility with leading streaming technologies and platforms.

Interesting to see a new integrated streamer from McIntosh. It appears to have the DA2 DAC module builtin, judging by the digital section on the back supporting HDMI as well as USB, MCT, etc. That would imply it has the ES9028PRO on-board in quad-balanced configuration. 160W into 4R, no autoformers. Also Roon Ready!
Seems a bit small compared to some of their bigger iron, but suitable for an office or vacation home as they state.
