Starting bid = $180!
And it looks like someone has just soldered RCA plugs onto a standard plug. There's an extremely good chance that would blow the McIntosh outputs if plugged into most external equipment!

I take no resposibility for quality or performance of the item lmao... Coming from an electronics background, I was a touch skeptical of it myself. $180 is probably a bit much though...
But you never know. It could be the best thing since sliced bread, or as useless as an ashtray on a motorcycle.

I'll revise my comments a bit.
That sort of cable, plugged into the McIntosh head unit, would be a serious risk to its health.
This cable is intended to plug into the McIntosh amplifer from another head unit.
Driving an balanced input from an unbalanced output will work without damaging anything.
It's not an optimal method (i.e. more chance of noise getting into the signal), but probaly works ok.
