Mcintosh MDA 1000, world class or ..?


Not many discussions here at audiogon about this Dac, I wonder why? This dac is being raved all over at audiokharma.org but I wonder how it compares to top contenders from Dcs, Meitner and Esoteric,etc.

Hi, I just purchased the new Accustic Art Mk4 and it is awesome. Having said that I have always wanted to try the McIntosh gear, IE 501's and MDA 1000. I like the fact that the MDA 1000 has a built in preamp as well. I have a friend who will trade me his MDA for my AA Mk4 and I am tempted. The funny thing is I am almost sure that the AA will be MUCH better and I am still tempted to trade?????? I have yet to find anyone that has actually A/B the mac unit to others such as the DCS or Dodson or AA? Anybody out there compared the MDA to other world class units?
Thanks, Guy
