McCormack DNA-500 - opinions please

I see that 6moons.com has the DNA-500 scheduled for an up coming review.

Like you, the claims of "The Best" have peaked my interest as well, especially at the asking price. Patience may be the order of the day for that all-important third confirmation.

I do find it interesting however that no one has chimed in given the popularity of the smaller McCormack amps.

There are two other reviews out there on the DNA500, www.onsoundandmusic.com and www.iar-80.com

One caveat, the IAR review should be taken with a HUGE "grain of salt" as P. Moncrieff tends to rate quite a few products as "the best on the planet"... and has always tended to come across as God's gift to audioreviewers..

I have not auditioned the 500, but I have the 125 with B&W 805s (I think). It sounded wonderful on Patricia Barber. Very very nice detail, dynamics and tonal quality.
