I've owned two McCormack amps now but I've never owned the 0.5.
If you can find some reviews of the DNA 0.5 (it's been a few years now since one's been done), you would find that some reviewers in time past have placed it as among the best of the best very regardless of price.
But that's just a starting point. If you should land a DNA 0.5, you can then send it in to Steve McCormack who for a little money, will turn it into something else!!
You might consider checking out McCormack's web-site at smcaudio.com for more details on his Revision A Gold, A, B, or C upgrades.
-IMO
