MCINTOSH MHT300 HOME THEATER RECEIVER $8,000 REVIEW

I have an extensive collection of surround SACDs and DVD-As that allowed me to test for clarity and general cohesiveness of sound and the MHT300 passed with flying colors. I could not play a DSD file from my computer to the MHT300, and with no analog inputs, I could not use my PS Audio PerfectWave Direct Stream DAC. I found a workaround by downloading Qobuz onto my TV and streaming from there. Unfortunately, it topped out at 48kHz, and I paid extra for the higher-resolution formats. In the end, you’ll only be able to play CDs, as you cannot cast to the MHT300. For surround music, I have some old standbys like Breakaway by Art Garfunkel and A Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra by Benjamin Britten. Voices and instruments were dynamic and natural sounding. If you have an extensive surround catalog of music, the MHT will not disappoint. The FM tuner I did not test as I have not had an antenna in my system for over a decade.
