I would say between 100-200 hours.

Hello guys,
I tried to find a C2700-specific 3d but without success, so I post here hope it is the right place. I cannot understand from the owner's manual one aspect of the C2700, in particular the capabilities of the HDMI (ARC) input of the DA2 DAC. There are some Blue-ray/SACD players (e.g. OPPO 203/205) outputting audio only via HDMI, including the DSD data stream from SACDs. Have you tried this option or does this input work just connected to a TV throgh ARC connection? I had in the past a Bryston BDA-3 and SACDs via HDMI sounded pretty well, so I am wondering if this could be done with the C2700 as well. I am checking this as this could be the only feature that would make me prefer the C2700 over the C70, which I am about to order. Thank you! ---------------------------------------- Matteo |

I briefly (didn't go through and exhaust settings) tried the HDMI audio only output from my Oppo 205 to the DA2 with no success. I was told by Chuck @ McIntosh that the HDMI was intended to be used with TV eARC only. Others may have had better success.

Not sure why Mc would put that in a 2 channel preamp, but I'm sure they had their reasons. Would much prefer to see a real tape loop in the C2700. I'm in the extreme minority, I know.

Hi @Freddie, @Doug, thank you. This confirms what I suspected. Indeed this is a pity.
Reading some discussions on my former BDA-3 I understood that the ability to decode the SACD data streams through HDMI involves the payment of royalties, maybe this is the reason... and I guess Mc wants push for its transports leveraging the MCT proprietary connection. I guess Mc designed it just to allow a simple HT setup using a nearby hi-fi system to enhance the TV sound, benefiting from the volume control of the TV itself... not a feature I am interested in. Btw, I still find my former OPPO/BDA a great combo, pity a similar setup could not be done with a Mc pre-amp. The only alternative is to have a HDMI de-embedder and use the coaxial input... _________________________ Matteo |

I am thinking about trying Cryo treated Gold Lions when I get my C2700. I liked sound of the treated tubes in my amp. Anyone have experience with cyro treated tubes in C2700?

I have 105D and I am wondering if to even bother connecting it to 2700 and how. Would love to hear some from your experience. Thanks |

I loved my GL in the C1100 I had.
