Is the McCormack DNA .5 that great?

Is the McCormack DNA .5 and its succeeding revisions as good as the hype. Some people are saying that they are the best amps money can buy. Get the best one you can in your budget. That is a pretty lofty statement. I live in a place where I do not got to audition gear, are these really as good as people say. Is there anything that can go head to head with these amps and survive the competition?

Thanks

I used to own a .5 and a DNA-1. I thought the .5 was a great little amp. However, I think there are better amps out there. For instance, I would recommend a Pass X-150 over the .5 or the DNA 1. Having said that, if you can get one for 500-600 on Audiogion, I think that is a good deal. I would note, however, that the .5 has some limitations. For example, you will not have a balanced connection option which for me is pretty important.

Good luck.
