Unfortunately it misses 1 AES/EBU and 1 more coax and 1 more optical input.

What does it bring more than the DA2 module included in newer preamps?

I would say it just brought or raised the value of the newer Mac preamps/integrateds!

That could be difficult to tell without listening. But for sure, the MDA200 is an option for those who prefer preamps that don't contain a DAC.

Or Tube preamps. I don't think McIntosh puts Dacs in their Tube amps

I stand corrected . The MA 1200 Integrated Amp with tubes does have the digital module.

I like the concept of an upgradable stand alone DAC, it's about time they did this.

Yeah, I believe the DA2 uses the ESS 9028pro.
