Agree if you really really love your DNA-1 but just want more, the upgrade makes sense if you're planning to keep it for the long run. As an owner of an old DNA-0.5 Rev A I'm kinda facing the same decision. But if you're open to exploring new pastures, there's a pair of Clayton Audio M70 monos that bring you into pure Class-A operation that would sorely tempt me -- especially at the $2100 asking price. Just another potential option FWIW, and best of luck.
