Hafler DH500 vs Newer Integrated Amp/Class D?


Hi, getting back into audio after a long hiatus - thinking of replacing my trusty stock Hafler DH500. I'm wondering if new technology eclipses the sound of my 30 year old Hafler?

Looking at an Anthem integrated, Class D Audio, even some of the newer Yamahas vs say a McCormack DNA .5.

For 2 channel music only.

Thanks!

Anthem gear is nice, you might want to look at the Marantz PM8004 as well. A ton of stuff to choose from around that price range.

Would the newer stuff out shine the old, not always. Let your ears be the judge. Keep in mind other features that may be important to you, headphone output, A/B speakers and such. Built in dac, remote control etc. Even the seemingly can I read the writing on the unit. All will add to your enjoyment of your new gear. Post how you make out. Happy hunting.
