I’m in the market for an integrated hybrid amp. I’m trying to decide between the new McIntosh MA252 and the Vincent SV-237MK. Price difference aside, any thoughts on how these two amps compare to each other?
Thanks, buds, and everyone else who chimed in on this. Your input has ben really helpful and it sounds like there is an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm about the Vincent. You've helped me make my decision.
How is the DAC in the 237? The 237 is on my list, but Ive read that it uses a DAC from 2012. I prefer a one box solution, but could add cheap DAC if really necessary.
I just bought my 237, but I've noticed that the sound going through the optical input is good, but not great - presumably because of the cheap DAC. That's disappointing, but as you noted one can reconnect to the analog inputs and look at getting a better DAC.
