Mcintosh says that the C48 has the Burr Brown 32 Bit DAC. I listened to a C50 at a showroom and it was fantastic, when paired with a pair of their MC2301's. The price? Is it worth spending $6500 or a little less? I don't know but I want one, although I'm not willing to pay. The fact is that when you burn your disc onto the computer your'e using a $50 CD player to transfer that digital information onto itunes. Why then do we need to spend $3000 on a 32bit DAC when my computer doesn't have one for recordings?
