The C2600 builds upon the C2300 and C2500 – two of the most successful McIntosh vacuum tube preamplifiers – while adding our advanced digital audio section for DSD and DXD support and an upgraded tube circuitry design.
A versatile preamplifier with an expansive set of 16 inputs to connect virtually all analog or digital music sources.
The analog and digital sections are housed separately in our dual chassis design to prevent signal corruption.
Bass and Treble tone controls can adjust individual sources as needed.
Up to three stereo amplifiers may be connected at one time; two of them can be switched on and off to simplify your whole house audio distribution.
