For analog, it has 2 balanced and 3 unbalanced, along with 2 phono inputs (comprised of 1 Moving Coil and 1 Moving Magnet) for connecting turntables. On the digital side, it has 6 inputs housed in the <strong>DA1<\/strong> module. The inputs are: 2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 proprietary MCT (for use with our <strong>MCT<\/strong> series of SACD\/CD Transports). The <strong>DA1<\/strong> is powered by an 8-channel, 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) that is used in Quad Balanced mode; it supports up to DSD256 and DXD 384kHz for playback of high resolution audio.<\/p>\n<p>For connecting to your amplifier and the rest of your home audio system, the <strong>C49<\/strong> has 2 balanced variable outputs, 2 unbalanced variable outputs, and 1 unbalanced fixed output. The outputs are designed for easy use when bi-amping your speakers so that neither your highs or lows are inadvertently turned off. Your audio sources can be fine tuned via the bass and treble tone controls. The <strong>C49<\/strong> can be seamlessly integrated into your home theater system via Home Theater Pass Through. Power Control ports allow for the easy turn on\/turn off of other connected <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> components, while the Data Ports can send remote control commands to connected source components. Our High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD\u00ae) is also included.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>C49<\/strong> is one of many <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> products to receive Roon Tested designation from Roon Labs. As a Roon Tested partner, <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> has provided equipment to Roon for testing with a variety of different operating systems and computers, and shared information about its design and capabilities.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46557\" src=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc-400x140.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc-768x268.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc-430x150.jpg 430w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc-700x244.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/McIntosh-C49-Preamplifier-desc-150x52.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Be prepared for future digital music technologies with the <strong>C49<\/strong> Preamplifier.
