McInTosh D150

I have the D100 , It's a great piece of kitt using it as a pre and  a DAC with my Mcintosh MC 152 power amp the sound is amazing a great value for money.The 150 is even better its DAC can read also DSD , higher sampling bit and it have special load connection to Macintosh CD transport for SACD CDs. 

Doing a shootout right know between the Bryston the Schiit and the McIntosh.. the McIntosh can not compete....

As a standalone DAC  Bryston and Schiit are better than the McIntosh but if you are looking for a pre and  DAC All in one the McIntosh is undoubtedly a great value for money you have to struggle to find something similar in this price level.

I would agree the McIntosh has some added features that the others don't 

Thanks guys for your input. I do have a Marantz SA 8005  that has a DAC THAT PLAYS 2.8 5.6  DSD . One person in the field told me today that by buying the McIntosh D 150 would be a side way move and not a up move. What do you guys think is he right?  This guy has been in the audio field for over thirty years.
