"This is an older McIntosh unit that was marketed towards those who needed HDMI video (only) switching but wanted the best analog sound. Those looking for exceptional analog reproduction who don't care about the new audio codecs of Blu-ray may want to read Andrew Robinson's full review here."
"The MX-136 is a stellar performer for reproducing music. If you are contemplating a setup that uses the same processor for both movies and music, especially stereo, the MX-136 is a must audition component. The McIntosh was extremely easy to use once it is setup. The front panel proved to be extremely informative and simple to read. The unit had no problem detecting traditional surround codecs and implementing the proper mode. The McIntosh had extremely low background noise which let the details come through vibrantly. The careful attention to performance ensured that the details were not only noticed but that they were accurate as well."
