Mark Levinson No. 5802 – Typical Sound Descriptors
Neutral, transparent, detailed - very clear rendering of rhythm and transient detail.
Neutral and accurate sound, with emphasis on detail and resolution.
The No. 5802 is described as very neutral, without undue emphasis on any frequency band, faithfully reproducing the balance of the recording without adding its own coloration.
Transparent, clean delivery with deep soundstage and detail.
Reviewers note a transparent “wall of sound,” a deep soundstage, and loads of detail - the music emerges with clear micro-detail and refinement.
Excellent transient response and musical liveliness.
It shows excellent transient response and musical liveliness, where attacks are quick and rhythms are conveyed with precision, which contributes to a dynamic, engaging performance.
Highly capable bass depth and low distortion.
Although not the heaviest in bass quantity, it can dig deep and reproduce rumbling low bass while maintaining very low distortion.
Mark Levinson’s sound-character in the No. 5802 lines up well with brands that also prioritize neutrality, precision, and detail, though every brand has its own articulation:
Accuphase - similarly neutral with refined, smooth detail retrieval.
Pass Labs - high resolution and transparent with musical depth.
Classe - clean, open sound with objective presentation.
Esoteric / Boulder - top-tier engineering focus on purity and resolution.

Specifications:
Beautiful design and big, detailed output
The No.5802 from Mark Levinson weighs in at 61 pounds, and features a beautiful curved aluminum and glass front panel — a statement piece from a storied audio brand. The 1"-thick aluminum chassis flows seamlessly into the elegant glass display. Two brushed aluminum hourglass knobs on either side control input and volume.
Refined industrial cosmetic design is a Mark Levinson hallmark. But it's the '5802's output that we love the most: huge, detailed sound, with the low noise-floor that only "big iron" — a massive transformer — can deliver.
Expansive soundstage for digital sources
Here is a single, stout component that reproduces digital sources with an expansive soundstage that is high, wide and deep.
The amplifier's beefy toroidal transformer underpins the dual mono, discrete component circuitry to produce an amazing accuracy of tone, timbre and dynamics. Whatever recording you happen to play through it, the '5802 gives you an energetic, lifelike rendering.
Flexible digital inputs
A total of six digital inputs — including optical and coaxial S/PDIF, USB Type-B, and AES/EBU digital XLR — feed through the '5802's Precision Link II DAC. This high-performance digital-to-analog converter makes the most of just about any digital source you send its way, including MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) music files. And with aptX-HD Bluetooth, even convenient wireless streaming from your compatible phone, tablet, or computer can sound excellent.
High-current output
The '5802 is also supremely flexible when it comes to your choice of loudspeakers. Four 10,000 microfarad capacitors per channel deliver 125 watts x 2 into 8 ohms, and 250 watts x 2 into 4 ohms, with consistent stability down to 2 ohms. In plain terms, it can cleanly power any speaker set you choose.
A legacy that sets the bar high
Since the company's inception in 1972, Mark Levinson has set world-class standards for quality, musicality and longevity. If you're lucky enough to find a vintage piece, the asking price may be higher than the original. And they're still designed and built in the USA.
We are thrilled that the recently developed 5000 Series brings the legendary sound of this brand into the realm of the attainable for more music lovers.
