I’m with the OP. The company knows that audiophiles love to play with different equipment. It’s also stupid for their business, as Mac customers have great brand loyalty, and they could market a megabucks Mac DAC to them down the road. Mac customers tend not to want all in one solutions as much as customers of a certain audio company whose name starts with “B”.
McIntosh DS200
Just got an email ad from McIntosh about the new DS200 streamer/DAC. My first reaction is, why is the DAC not upgradeable? Also, there is no digital out. This is a beautiful piece of equipment, but I am dismissing it immediately because of that. Am I wrong?
