@highend64 stock DNA-125 is an excellent amplifier. If you want to mod it I would the just wait for a modified version to come up on used market. Don’t buy this amp to get it modified…that’s going to be money never recouped.
McCormack DNA 125
Hi, I am about to get a McCormack DNA 125 amp in stock form. I have heard different bias on modding this model. Right now I have a BK ST2140 powering a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitor v3. What is your opinion on this amp? Thanks

In general, I agree totally with @audphile1 but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a modded DNA-125 or 225 come up for sale. I’m on the other side where I don’t care how much the mods cost cause I’m keeping the amp forever. I’d say either buy a fully modded used amp if you can find one. If you’re more of a taste tester try and find a used stock amp and if you really love the sound and wanna take it to near SOTA levels on the relative cheap go for the mods. That was my route. |
Hey @gdnrbob who are you? Were you part of the CJ/McCormack partnership? Either way I’d love to pick your brain as I’ve currently got an old 0.5 RevA in for full upgrades. I almost think this deserves its own ongoing discussion thread as there are so many of us DNA owners out there. Thoughts? |
Common' @audphile1 , How often do you see current modded 125s up for sale,? |
@slaw Never. I’ve never seen a modded 125 or 225 ever for sale. Frankly, I rarely see any 125 or 225 for sale so if you see one, grab it. That’s just my opinion. |
