New McIntosh MA 8900 Integrated amp


Does anybody have any experience, or know of any professional reviews?  This new model is intriguing to me because it offers an upgrade-able DAC module, as well as both MM and MC phono inputs, and home theater pass through.  Also has good power at 200 wpc.  If the audio quality is there, I like the way this unit could reduce the clutter and cabling that would go with connecting a separate DAC and phono stage.   Also, I've never bought a McIntosh product, so does anybody know if dealers ever discount?  This particular unit is not available for online sales.

Have you checked Accuphase ?
The e-470 integrated is in the same class as the McIntosh, also Accuphase has some fantastic pre amps, not sure about pricing in the US, as they differ a great deal country to country.
Good luck with your search.
