BAT VK -200 vs. McCormack DNA 1 Deluxe?

Currently running a BAT VK-5i preamp and McCormack DNA 0.5 with Magnepan speakers and looking to upgrade my amp. BAT makes sense for the synergy but also impressed with the McCormack so far.

Letting know what is in your system can help them customize the upgrade. Bob

(Background, I want to upgrade my preamp to BAT VK-5i and potentially send DNA for upgrade, but I was told BAT does not work with MacCormack!!). Thanks.

I wonder if it was a current draw issue etc, hence I am asking if you experienced any issues or had to do something special, as I am glad you have the set up working well for you.
