McCormack DNA-1 or DNA-1 deluxe?


I am looking for a new amp and see several forums which speak highly of McCormack DNA-1 amps. In the used market the average price for a DNA-1 appears to be in the $600-$650 range. The deluxe is going for around $750-$800. Question? Is there enough difference in the sound quality to justify the extra $150-$200 for the Deluxe version?

If I went with a standard DNA-1 now what are my options to upgrade later? Does McCormack offer an upgrade package? How much?

McCormack does offer modifications via SMcAudio. VERY significant improvement and well worth the $, but your most economical way to go over the long run is to get one modified already. SMc is Steve McCormack's side venture and is truely an exemplary supporter of his products. Give them a call and you will get the straight poop. Or check back to your thread in a day or 2, he will often respond here.
