surround sound pre amps because they have integrated DAC's suffer faster technology obsolesence... doubt the Macintosh amp technology has changed much in a decade. Be sure to identify a specific problem you are trying to solve in a new pre else you may get a better pre in an area that doesn't enrich your listening enjoyment.
Upgrade amp or pre
My current set up is:
Yamaha CXA5000
Mac MC205
SF Cremona Ms
I'm thinking of either adding the MC452 or upgrading the pre to an Anthem Dv2 or the Krell foundation. I would say 60/40 for home theater. I can't upgrade both, has to be one or the other, where would I get the biggest gain, amp or pre? Thanks in advance.
