Pragmatist- I have upgraded my DNA 0.5 to Rev A+ thru SMc Audio. No question that it is worth the cost and I would consider going the full Rev A gold route when resources allow. Better definition, soundstaging, imaging, deeper, tighter bass. Better in every way. Not selling the pair that I am using for bi-amping, unless I upgrade my speakers or add a powere sub, when I may no longer need the extra oomph. With respect to $, I know that I sold a DNA Rev B for more than what I paid for it (bought it already upgraded). However, I would hardly expect to recover the full cost of an upgrade/mod, just as I wouldn't expect to recover the full cost of a new or used purchase, unless I got very lucky.
Product Upgrades. Worth the Money?
Many companies now offer upgrades. Monarchy,Rogue,and Odyssey offer such packages on their amps, as does Madisound on crossover parts.
What sonic improvements do these upgrades provide? Could we tell the differences blindfolded? Have you purchased these upgrades? Would you do so again? Have you recovered the additional costs on items sold used?
