I have the DNA-1 with the Gold + Platinum upgrades. Although I have Stereophile Class A mono block amplifiers that I was using, I am back to the DNA-1. Adding the MicroZOTL MZ2 preamp and using it with the DNA-1 is a killer combination! I have had my DNA since 1994 and upgraded it in 2014 - this heirloom will definitely be passed to my son.
McCormack DNA-1 Gold or DNA-225
I'm looking for a DNA-225, but am on the fence between a DNA-1 Gold revision.
If I go with the DNA-1, then I will likely send it off for a fresh Gold revision. Next option is find a DNA-225 and hold off on the mods for awhile.
My question is, how does the current DNA-1 Gold stack up to a 225 in stock form?
I'm looking at more $$$ to upgrade a 225 down the road and from what I hear an upgraded 225 is quite nice.
I know this is subjective but any opinions are greatly appreciated.
