Combining a full-featured music streamer with a powerful solid-state amplifier, it is built for people who want a serious two-channel system without needing to fill a rack with separate components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the MSA5500 especially attractive is how easily it fits into modern listening habits. It supports Apple AirPlay, Bluetooth, Google Cast, Qobuz Connect, Spotify Connect and TIDAL Connect, while also offering Roon Ready and Roon Tested certification. That means customers can move from phone-based streaming to more advanced network audio with far less friction, while still getting the kind of authority, clarity and scale expected from a McIntosh amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is also unusually flexible for an all-in-one design. Alongside its streaming platform, the MSA5500 includes a moving magnet phono input for turntables, HDMI ARC for TV sound, multiple digital and analogue inputs, a subwoofer output and headphone support. For customers who want one elegant amplifier that can anchor a complete music and TV-friendly hi-fi system, while still delivering the visual drama and ownership appeal McIntosh is known for, the MSA5500 is a very compelling option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an ex-demo model that has been very well cared for.
