Upgraded McCormack DNA-1 or Dennis Had Inspire SEP?


It’s make or break time. I need to make a decision about which direction I need to take regarding my next amplifier. I’m coming from a Jolida Fusion 3502P that I’ve spent the last year searching for the best tube combinations.

Do I keep the McCormack DNA-1 I just bought and save up to have it upgraded, or do I sell it and buy a new Insipre amp from Mr. Had? 

I have a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls, Better Cables silver serpent interconnects, high quality copper speaker cables, and I’m feeding them with a Marantz preamp, through which I feed almost all my music via Amazon/Heos.

Discuss. 

Thanks in advance.

Holy SH!T this was the absolute right choice!

@jsbw Woo! Glad it's meeting expectations. For some reason I have been blocked from signing in over at AudioAficionado and can't figure out how to get a hold of an admin. Let me know if you have any questions, I've been pretty active over there and had a big long thread about my adventures with tube rolling. Still experimenting with different tubes, including some exotic ones.

Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful sounding genre of low power tube amplifiers.
