MD309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier

Overview

MD309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier

From our pedigree in pure analog circuitry, we're proud to introduce our most uncompromising 2-channel Integrated Amplifier. Using the same Hybrid-Acoustic CircuitryTM found in our MD-209 Audio Receiver, JJ 6922 Cryovalve tubes, and stocked with Magnum Dynalab's unrelenting build quality and audio engineering, the new MD 309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is a future-ready anchor for your high-performance home audio system. We feel it is the best integrated amplifier on the market today.

o INTRODUCING OUR HYBRID-ACOUSTIC CIRCUITRYTM. This unique and proprietary circuitry combines the musicality, soundstaging and audio realism of our JJ 6922 CryoTubes with the crisp detail, harmonics and long-life of a solid state device.
o POWERFUL and FLEXIBLE. Equipped with 40 Sanken output transistors to boost current after the tube gain stage, the MD-309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is rated at 225 watts into 8 ohms (450 watts into 4 ohms), adequate output to drive the most demanding of speakers.
o FUNCTIONAL AND STATELY. With a 5" LCD touchscreen, symmetrical knobs and meters, soft blue LED lighting, a 1" thick faceplate and intuitive remote, the MD-309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is as attractive as it is easy-to-operate.
o INTEGRATE ANY DIGITAL SOURCE COMPONENT. The MD-309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is equipped with our most advanced Digital-to-Analog converter, featuring our full-time upconverting and oversampling Burr-Brown design, 3 digital inputs (including USB), and seamless operation through the remote or faceplate.
o FLEXIBLE INPUTS. With 1 line-level pre-amp output, 2 Balanced (XLR) inputs and 3 single-ended analog inputs (including a Surround Sound Processor input for integration with multi-channel applications), PLUS 3 digital inputs (including USB), the MD-309 acts as the backbone for any home audio/video system.
o AUDIO PROTECTION BOARD. The MD 309 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier comes equipped with a proprietary circuit to run regular diagnostics on the device, ensuring safe and efficient operation of the unit at all times.
o MAGNUM DYNALAB BUILD QUALITY. Solid aluminum feet with Vibrapods Isolators, 24K gold plated .093" thick circuit boards, hefty internal heat-sinks and a burly chassis are all characteristics of our unrelenting commitment to quality.

The simple and efficient treatment of the analog signal throughout the MD-309 Integrated Amplifier is, without a doubt, the hallmark of this musical device. Our Director of Design Zdenko Zivkovic has worked tirelessly to develop the Hybrid-Acoustic design platform, the backbone of this Hybrid Integrated Amplifier. This distinctive circuit path delivers the unique combination of long tube life (expected to be greater than 7 years under normal use), with high-current output (225 watts into 8 ohms and 450 watts into 4 ohms) in a design that generates half of its gain from the triode stage. The result is reference-quality audio realism and soundstaging of a full triode design combined with the sharp detail and harmonics characterized by the very best solid state devices.

With an incredible intuitive LCD touchscreen and a functional remote, the MD-309 Integrated Amplifier is as easy to operate as it is attractive. The large knobs on the front panel offer the operator the option of manual volume control and input select, and if desired, users can pre-select listening levels for each input.

The 5 analog inputs (2 Balanced XLR, 3 single-ended) provide plenty of source options, and includes a SSP (Surround Sound Processor) input, which disengages the pre-amp section to allow the MD-309 to act as the amplifier for the 2 mains in multi-channel applications. Finally, in addition to the 5 analog inputs, the DAC board enables the integration of any digital source into your home audio system, via a USB or coaxial connection.

The highly competent analog design of the MD-309 Integrated Amplifier necessitated a digital interface board that provided the same high level of performance. This unique circuit design uses two industry leading core components for the receiving and rendering of the digital signal, with the front end of the board driven by the CS8416 192kHz DAC (Digital Audio Receiver) from CIRRUS Logic, capable of incredibly high performance standards.
