The McIntosh MR88 excels at receiving traditional AM and FM broadcasts and adds the power of HD RadioTM to produce startling fidelity with an expanded range of programming.

MR88 Features
Typical of other fine-quality McIntosh audio components, the MR88 utilizes a linear power supply with a custom-wound R-Core transformer and nested regulation to insure optimum performance of all circuits. The MR88 analog audio output stage offers balanced and single-ended outputs. Coaxial and optical digital audio outputs are also provided.
A compelling combination of classic styling and modern digital amenities, the MR88 is equally at home in vacuum tube-based 2-channel stereo systems as well as home theater and multi-room systems. The two line multifunction fluorescent display indicates artist name; station call sign; music genre and song title. The Smooth Acting Weighted Tuning mechanism with Glass Dial and Illuminated Pointer recall the classic McIntosh tuner designs of the 60’s and 70’s, while a full complement of RS232 control with metadata support makes the MR88 the go-to multi-format broadcast audio source for today’s whole-house systems.
