Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe


OK, here is my question. Do I purchase the Pass X-250 or the McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe, both would be purchased used (Pass $3K-$3K, DNA-2 Deluxe $2K-$2.5K)?

My system consists of Sony SCD-777ES, AZ Silver Ref. ICs, BAT VK-30SE tube preamp (probably upgrade it to 31SE) and B&W 803 Matrix Series II speakers. I want the sound to be sweet, very fast, detailed, airy, smooth, extended, slight warmth, bass slam and mucho dynamics and more.

Has anyone compared these amps?

Thanks your input will be well received.

arn't we talking about two different price levels?
i would add plinius sa250 in that list which is superior to them both.
if you can't stretch to plinius SA250 you can get SA100 which will bring you everything you've just stated into your speakers.
