I recently purchased a McCormack DNA-500 to replace a Levinson 331 to drive my Aerial 10Ts. The improvements wrought were substantial. I had the Levinson for quite a few years and really liked it a lot, but always felt that the 10Ts could benefit from more power. I did consider the 336 amp, but had seen so much posted about the McCormack, that I just had to try it. Once I did, there was no turning back.
The DNA-500 took everything to the next level. For me, the biggest improvement was a major step toward creating a greater sense of realism in the music. Far better dynamics, transient response, soundstage and, perhaps most important, it just seems far more musical. Definitely worth a listen!
