Your device then effectively becomes a remote control to adjust volume, song selection, and other playback features.Additional streaming options included are Apple® AirPlay®, Bluetooth®, and Google Cast™ that allows for streaming directly from a smart device to the DS200. All of these wireless connection options makes it easy for guests to stream their favorite playlists to the DS200 during family events or parties.The DS200 is equipped with two Wi-Fi antennas and one Bluetooth antenna for stable wireless connections, and an Ethernet port for wired connections.

It supports high resolution digital audio playback, as its USB input supports native playback of up to DSD512 and DXD up to 384kHz, while the coax and optical inputs can decode digital music up to 24-bit/192kHz. With its HDMI (ARC) input, the DS200 is perfect for watching your favorite TV shows and movies with audio quality that TV speakers or soundbars just can't provide.2 Popular multi-channel audio formats from Dolby and DTS will be expertly converted to two-channel audio for proper playback.The DS200 has a pair of balanced and unbalanced analog outputs to connect it to your preamplifier or integrated amplifier. We offer both balanced cables and unbalanced cables to make these connections. It comes from the factory in fixed output mode, meaning the volume would be controlled by your preamplifier, integrated amplifier, or other component with volume control, but it does offer the option of setting its output to variable mode. Variable output mode allows the DS200 to be connected directly to a power amplifier in an audio system that only has digital audio sources, and the DS200 would control the volume.A TRUE MCINTOSH IN EVERY WAYThe DS200 Streaming DAC is designed with timeless McIntosh aesthetics and high-quality materials, such as a black glass front faceplate, rotary control knobs, illuminated logo, and custom machined aluminum end caps. A Data IN port along with Power Control ports allow for seamless integration with other McIntosh components, while the RS232 Control port can be used in more advanced installations. A remote control is included.SpecificationsFrequency Response+/-0.5dB from 20Hz to 20kHz+0.5/-3dB from 5Hz to 60kHz (source dependent)Total Harmonic Distortion0.005%Fixed Output Level2.0Vrms Unbalanced4.0Vrms BalancedAdjustable Output Level0 - 8.0Vrms Unbalanced0 - 16.0Vrms BalancedSignal To Noise Ratio100dBDynamic Range100dBOutput Impedance100 ohms Unbalanced and BalancedDigital Coaxial Input2Digital Optical Input2Digital USB Input1Digital MCT Input1Digital AES/EBU Input1HDMI Input1 (ARC)Wireless Input Wi-Fi: a, b, g, n, ac; 2.4/5 GHzBluetooth 5.0: AVRCP, A2DP, aptX, aptX HD, aptX LLStreaming Support Apple AirPlay, Google Cast, Roon, Spotify Connect, Tidal ConnectBalanced Output1 (can be set to either fixed or variable mode)Unbalanced Output1 (can be set to either fixed or variable mode)Network Connection1Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) Type8-channel, 32-bit/384kHz PCM/DSD, Quad BalancedDigital Coaxial Input Sample Rate24-bit/44.1kHz to 192kHzDigital Optical Input Sample Rate24-bit/44.1kHz to 192kHzDigital MCT Input Sample Rate16-bit/44.1kHz (CD)DSD64 (SACD)Digital USB Input Sample Rate32-bit/44.1kHz to 384kHz (PCM)DSD64, DSD128, DSD256, DSD512, DXD352.8kHz, DXD384kHzPower Control Input1Power Control Output1Rear Panel Data Input1Rear Panel IR Sensor Input1RS232 Control Input1Unit Dimensions (W x H x D)17-1/2" (44.5cm) x 6" (15.2cm) x 17" (43.2cm)Unit Weight 20.5 pounds (9.3 kg)Shipping Weight 27.5 pounds (12.5 kg)
The McIntosh DS200 is a solid mid-tier digital source that punches above its weight for streaming and file playback, though it's been eclipsed by newer models. At USD$5,800, this asking price runs notably high compared to your database median of USD$5,042—a premium of roughly 15%. Even accounting for condition variables, you're looking at USD$1,137 above the 75th percentile. Unless this unit is in exceptional condition with full documentation and original packaging, the seller is testing the market aggressively. Shop the USD$4,663–USD$5,421 range first.
Before committing, verify the digital outputs work flawlessly across all formats (USB, optical, coax, AES/EBU if equipped), as connection failures are the most common wear point on these units. Confirm the display is sharp with no dead pixels, and that the power supply hasn't drifted—listen for any hum or noise floor creep during quiet passages. Ask whether the original remote, manual, and any firmware update history are included; missing documentation typically signals a neglected unit.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 in the United States by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, embodies a storied heritage of American audio innovation. Originally based in Silver Spring, Maryland, before relocating to Binghamton, New York, where products are still handcrafted today, the brand emerged from a commitment to superior sound reproduction. From powering President Lyndon Johnson's inauguration to the Grateful Dead's Wall of Sound at Woodstock, McIntosh has shaped pivotal moments in music history and pop culture, earning its place as a cultural icon.
The company specializes in a comprehensive lineup of high-fidelity components, including renowned amplifiers—particularly its revered tube models for their warm, enveloping sound—along with solid-state power amps, stereo tuners, loudspeakers, turntables, music streamers, processors, and digital-to-analog converters. This breadth supports both two-channel stereo systems and multi-channel home theaters, delivering immersive experiences in music and film. Iconic blue watt meters on their gear have become globally recognized symbols of precision and power.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, McIntosh commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising quality, luxurious build, and timeless design. Far from mid-tier or niche boutique, it stands as a premium benchmark, favored by legendary musicians and producers across decades, blending vintage allure with modern performance for those who demand the ultimate in sonic fidelity.
