Summary: Up for sale is a McIntosh MB20 Bluetooth Transceiver, in excellent condition and complete with the original box. Designed to bring modern wireless streaming to any McIntosh or non-McIntosh system regardless of age, the MB20 uses Bluetooth 5.0 with aptX HD support for genuinely high-resolution wireless audio, a rarity among Bluetooth add-on devices. Its transceiver design lets it work as a receiver (streaming from a phone or other device into your system) or a transmitter (sending audio from a turntable, CD player, or other source out to Bluetooth headphones or speakers), and its balanced and digital connections offer far more flexibility than typical Bluetooth adapters. A simple, elegant way to modernize a vintage or legacy audio system without touching the amplifier or preamp itself. Shows excellent condition with no notable wear.
