Mcintosh MDA 1000, world class or ..?


Not many discussions here at audiogon about this Dac, I wonder why? This dac is being raved all over at audiokharma.org but I wonder how it compares to top contenders from Dcs, Meitner and Esoteric,etc.

I have had the mda1000 for some time now and I can assure you its one of the best out there. I use a Slimdevices SB3 into the mda1000 directly driving the MC275 power amp.
I have compared this DAC to the Audio Aero Prima dac and Bel Canto DAC3 and the MDA 1K was much better. Its the most natural sounding dac with plently of details. This DAC is fully balanced diff DAC and has a very solid preamp built into it.
You should definitely audition it.
