I have a DNA-1 Deluxe with the SMc Audio Revision A+. At the time, that was the highest level of revision available. I have and continue to revel in the sound of my system with that amp. I don't know that much about the 225, but have no doubt that it is a fine piece of gear. Don't see how you lose with either amplifier. Flip a coin?
McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225
I'm looking for a DNA-225, but am on the fence between a DNA-1 Gold revision.
If I go with the DNA-1, then I will likely send it off for a fresh Gold revision. Next option is find a DNA-225 and hold off on the mods for awhile.
My question is, how does the current DNA-1 Gold stack up to a 225 in stock form?
I'm looking at more $$$ to upgrade a 225 down the road and from what I hear an upgraded 225 is quite nice.
I know this is subjective but any opinions are greatly appreciated.
