According to Steve McCormack he was able to incorporate many of the Rev. B mods into the DNA-125 and it is a great amp, but the 0.5 Rev. A goes even further and you can probably find one used for around $1400 if you have the time. I've got a 0.5 Rev. A and overall it seems more transparent than the newer McCormack models I've heard, but they were in different systems so take that for what it's worth. All I can tell you is the 0.5 Rev. A is a true open window to the music and upstream components with outstanding dynamics, detail, imaging, soundstaging, and overall control. If you can't find or wait for a Rev. A I'm sure the 125 will get you most of the way there, but I'd try for the Rev. A first. Best of luck.
