In addition to having all the same connections as the DA1 (2 coaxial, 2 optical, 1 USB and 1 MCT) a new audio-only HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC)1 connection is included on the <strong>DA2<\/strong>. This allows it to be connected to TVs with a compatible HDMI (ARC) output to bring your TV sound to the next level by listening to it through your home stereo system. ARC functionality can provide two-way communication between your <strong>DA2<\/strong> equipped unit and TV, allowing for volume control and lip-syncing functions to ensure the audio and video are perfectly synched. Popular multi-channel audio formats from Dolby\u00ae and DTS\u00ae are supported and will be expertly converted to 2-channel audio for proper playback through your <strong>DA2<\/strong> equipped unit. When CEC communication is enabled in both the <strong>DA2<\/strong> equipped unit and your TV, your TV remote can control the power and volume of your connected <strong>McIntosh<\/strong> unit.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the <strong>DA2\u2019s<\/strong> USB input can support native playback of up to DSD512, surpassing the DSD256 limit of the <strong>DA1<\/strong>. This increased DSD playback support is thanks to the next generation, Quad Balanced, 8-channel, 32-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) that powers the <strong>DA2<\/strong>. This audiophile-grade DAC is highlighted by both an improved dynamic range and total harmonic distortion compared to the <strong>DA1<\/strong>. The USB input also supports DXD up to 384kHz. The coax and optical inputs can decode digital music up to 24-bit\/192kHz for high resolution audio playback. Rounding out the <strong>DA2<\/strong> is a proprietary MCT input that offers a secure, custom DSD connection for playback of the high definition audio found on SACDs when paired with our <strong>MCT500<\/strong> and <strong>MCT80<\/strong> SACD\/CD Transports to produce the best possible sound quality from your SACD collection.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-69012\" src=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc.jpg\" alt=\"McIntosh DA2 Digital Audio Module Upgrade Kit for compatible McIntosh audio components\" width=\"1290\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc.jpg 1290w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc-400x140.jpg 400w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc-768x268.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc-430x150.jpg 430w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc-700x244.jpg 700w, https:\/\/hifimarket.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/McIntosh-DA2-Digital-Audio-Module-desc-150x52.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"woocommerce-product-details__short-description\">\n<p>The <strong>DA2<\/strong> Digital Audio Module is our newest and most advanced module for processing digital audio.
