Thanks. Yes, I should have asked about a different MAC.
Accuphase vs. McIntosh MCA 7200
I currently have an NAD M-33 and love all the features and convenience of having everything in one, powerful package (and the Dirac is extremely helpful in my large room). But I sure I’m missing a greater musical experience with this amp. I’ve had friends tell me to buy an Accuphase E-4000. But it doesn’t even come with a means to use my phonograph! That part costs another $1,300 and then I’d have to buy a steamer for Tidal and Bluetooth which is another $500-1500.
Another friend said I should look at the Mac MCA 7200 which while not having a streamer, at least allows you to plug in your phonograph! This is an expensive amp too.
My question:
1. Is the extra musical experience worth the $11K upgrade from the NAD?
2. If it is worth the money, which amp should I purchase?
Thanks in advance for your help
