Mcintosh c2600

I currently running a Parasound p6 with a Classé 5200. Thinking about trying a Mcintosh C2600. Wondering if anybody has any experience with one.

It replaced a c47 and before that a Peachtree NovaPre. I like the c2600 the most and the tubes make a positive difference for me. Very open soundstage and an amazing midrange. And as you noted it has a DAC and HT bypass though I don't use it, Overall I'm very happy with it. And yes I have it paired with a Mac amp.

I think the C2600 has an upgraded built in DAC compared to the C2500; in my case I used a PS Audio DirectStream DAC, so that difference didn't make sense to me. After breaking the C2500 in I upgraded the tubes to Gold Lions and that further improved the sound quality.
