Introduction and Performance Features

The McIntosh D1100 Digital Preamplifier is one of the

finest Preamplifiers ever created with connections for

digital sources. The D1100 Outputs have the ability to

drive multiple Power Amplifiers. The D1100 reproduc-

tion is sonically transparent and absolutely accurate.

The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of the Music

Itself.”

• Electromagnetic Output Switching

Digital Logic Circuits drive Electromagnetic Switches

for the Balance and Unbalanced Outputs 1 and Out-

puts 2 for reliable, noiseless, distortion free switching.

• Digital Audio Inputs

The Digital Inputs decode PCM and DSD Signals

from external sources. Coaxial, Optical, BNC and

AES/EBU Inputs process Digital Signals up to

192kHz with 24-Bit resolution. The Digital MCT In-

put Circuitry directly decodes SACD/CD signals from

an external Transport component. The USB Input

for streaming audio processes Digital Signals up to

384kHz with 32-Bit resolution, decodes up to DSD256

Digital Signals and DXD 24-Bit with a sampling rate

up to 384kHz.

• Dual Operating Modes

The D1100 has two modes of operation. One mode is

as a high performance full function Digital Pream-

plifier. The second mode is as a high performance

Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) which integrates

with an Analog only Preamplifier via a special Digital

Control Interface.

• Precision Tracking Volume Control

Volume levels are controlled by a Precision Balanced

Digitally Controlled Attenuator System with an Opti-

cal Encoder Rotary Control. This assures a 0.1dB

tracking accuracy between channels. There are 214

individual 0.5dB volume level steps with no noise as

the volume level is changed.

• Variable Rate Volume and Balance Controls

The D1100 Preamplifier’s Volume and Balance Con-

trol Circuitry provides an ideal rate of change with

control rotation.

• HXD

for Headphones

The D1100 Headphone Crossfeed Director Circuitry

(HXD

® )

improves the sound localization for Head-

phone Listening. HXD

restores the directionality

component of the spatial sound stage normally heard

with Loudspeaker listening.

• Alphanumeric Fluorescent Display

The Front Panel Information Display indicates the

Source Selection, Volume/Balance Levels and Setup

Mode Selections. The display intensity is adjustable.

• Remote Control with External Sensor Input

The Remote Control provides control of the D1100

operating functions and McIntosh Source Components

connected to it. Enjoy your McIntosh System from

another room in your home by connecting an external

sensor.

• Power Control Output and Trigger Assignment

A Power Control connection for convenient Turn-On

of McIntosh Power Amplifiers, Source Components

and Accessories is included. The Power Control Trig-

ger Ouputs may be assigned to activate when a given

Input/Output is selected.

• Dual Special Power Supply

Two fully separate and regulated Power Supplies with

special R-Core Power Transformers ensure stable

noise free operation even though the power line varies.

• LED Front Panel Illumination

The even Illumination of the Front Panel is accom-

plished by multiple extra long life Light Emitting

Diodes (LEDs) arranged with a special orientation.

• Glass Front Panel and Super Mirror Chassis

Finish

The famous McIntosh Illuminated Glass Front Panel

and the Stainless Steel Chassis with Super Mirror

Finish ensures the pristine beauty of the D1100 will be

retained for many years.

Wat is the difference betwee an amplifier and a pre-amplifier? Verified

An amplifier is often an integrated amplifier, with pre-amplifier and power amplifier in one device. A pre-amplifier regulates volume and sometimes balance and tone and lets you choose what source is used (cd, tape, turntable, etc). A pre-amplifier often provides a little amplification, just enough for the power amplifier. This is an active pre-amplifier. Sometimes a pre-amplifier does not amplify, making it a passive pre-amplifier.
