Definately go with the Stratos if this is the only choice of the two. But if push comes to shove, & the choice was between the Stratos or the "Deluxe" DNA 0.5, I will pick the Deluxe DNA 0.5.
Odyssey Stratos, McCormack DNA 225 or Bryston4BST?
What would you buy and why. On the used market the Stratos is about 1/2 the price yet continues to get wows from the audio community. Would I be disappointed with the Stratos compared to a Mccormack or Bryston. I listen to all types of music use an Audio Research SP16L preamp, Myryad MDP500 G6 processor, and Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MK II speakers. Cabling is Harmonic Tech ProSilways, Truthlinks, and a Magic Link. Thanks for your experiences and input. Dave.
