McCormack DNA-500

Is the DNA-500 rather warm sounding or is it qualified as neutral and very detailed. I am leery of harsh high frequencies.

Thank you.

I've got Aerial 10T speakers so the additional power of the McCormack really made the 10Ts sing. As Tvad stated... very neutral and very balanced. I found the bass to actually tighten up and deepen -- not heavy at all in my system. But, I think the biggest improvement wrought by the DNA-500 is transient response. Initial pluck of a string, a piano note, or a snare drum rimshot are just far more lifelike.

The reason for my worries is that I tried a Conrad-Johnson Premier 350 (I currently own a CJ MF2500)and I found the upper frequencies to be fatiguing.
