Mcintosh C49 C55 C2700 C2800


Opinions on upgrading from a C49 with Dac1 to one of the following C55, C2700, C2800 with Dac 2. Hopefully my dealer will be able to demo all for me. Just looking for feedback from people who have tried them.

I have a C2700 feeding a pair of MC 611s—a great preamp with outstanding functionality. Also, the DA2 module is outstanding; it will compete with anything up to $5K. I know this because my separate DAC retails for $19K and does everything better, but the DA2 puts a smile on my face for its value. The DA2 module is also modular, and I have a feeling that in a couple of years, a DA3 is on the horizon.
