McCormack DNA amp options....

I currently own a McCormack DNA 0.5, standard, that I have not yet sent to SMC for upgrades. Before I schedule with SMC I wanted to get some opinions from others with experience with the DNA amps. Is it really worth the time and money to consider getting a second 0.5 amp and have them converted to monoblocks? Would there be any advantage, other than the added power, to maybe finding a couple of 1.0's and doing this as opposed to the 0.5? Are there any sonic differences between the 1.0 and the 0.5 amps? Please keep in mind that over time these would be upgraded to a Rev. A or better. I really love my 0.5 and am pretty well set on staying with the McCormack DNA's for SS. Any advice would be a big help. Thank you. Zach

Labtec sez: "In particular, you can now get the Plitron toroid transformer for the .5 which significantly improves bass performance (among other things) and makes the .5 seem even more powerful."

Is this a fact? I notice the website says it availale only for the 1.0. This would eb good news if available and may well change my thinking strategy......
