This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner
It's new. I believe dealers are now taking orders. I think it's making its big debut at RMAF and shipping late September. The lower level MA252 got good reviews. I'm hoping this one sounds even better.I would actually consider selling my current P...

New McIntosh MA252
I'm looking at this amp as I'm thinking of reconfiguring my audio listening room. I have ZU omen Defs. I've been going back and forth on various forums about amps to go with my PS Audio BHK preamp. I was considering a hybrid BHK250. Benchmark AHB2... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I did hear a Yamaha Pro (MX series?) amp in a home theatre system a few years back and it sounded fine.  
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
I’ve always been intrigued by the Benchmark amp

One issue with class D that is not from a major brand would be resale value. I’ll never be the one to say I have purchased my final amp.

Tweak, what was the main influence for choosing this particular amp? Did you have prior experience with their gear?

TweakAs stayed earlier, Paul already said MSRP is the price. When I was shopping for M700s earlier this year, the $2200 you mentioned is about $400 higher than the quotes I was getting. The BHK series was heavily discounted ( around 36-40%). I can...

I’m thinking of the PS Audio m700s or s300 before they go direct sales ( eliminating dealer discounts)  
Just got my Lumin T2 wasome sound but very bad app
Roon is the best imo. I now only use itunes if i have to rip a cd. Roon will rip cds now, the Apple superdrive is not supported.

The thing I like about the T2 is the ability to use an external Dac down the road 
Why buy Bluesound Node2i vs. Marantz AVR for playing music from NAS or streaming services?
I use to use the Bluesound Node and it was excellent (I no longer need it since I have a Roon core direct to my Dac). I think you'll be surprised how good the Bluesound DAC performs. One great thing about the Node is you can run both digital out a... 
Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready?
I'm curious as well

What did you have before the T2 and how does it compare sound wise? How big of jump in sound quality?
