After listening to all of the above I chose McCormack. The Bryston was a close second. The difference was that the McCormack was more "musical" and the Bryston was more "accurate" with my gear (SF Line-1, Hales Revelation Threes and CAL transport and DAC). In the end it came down to system synergy and that the McCormack, which already sounded good, was also upgradeable. My DNA-1 has SMc Audio's Rev. B upgrade. It already exceeds all the stock boxes, but I still plan on going back for more!
