McCormack DNA500 and DNA2

I am running the DNA-500 with a VTL 5.5 pre to Maggie 3.6R's. I call it the velvet hammer, because the more the Maggie's ask for, the more you have to give. I also have a DNA-225 and DNA-1 Deluxe that I use with some Martin Logan's, but they are boys compared to this MAN. They are toys compared to the 500, although I loved each on the way to affording the DNA-500. I never had the DNA-2, but unless it's Steve's gold or plantinum edition, I think you'd probably be better off with the DNA-500. I do run it straight into it's own 20 Amp circuit so it has juice to go, with a Synergistic Master Couple PC. The question I'd ask would be what other components/speakers are you putting in front and behind it too? It matches with some things better than others, like everything in this busines.

Thanks for the comment Rootman. I'm actually in process of building my 2 channel system. Speakers are Dali Helicon 800 MKII, no pre yet, no CD player either. At first I thought I could do a temporary system, just kind of "something" for the time being until I figure out what to do but I think this (McCormack)is the direction I want to go. There is a DNA2 for sale here but I can't get any info on it, the ad says it has some upgrades but nothing specific and the seller doesn't know either. I wrote to SMc Audio asking for any type of info on it but so far no reply. I wander if there was a way of determining if this unit was upgraded just from looking at pictures but then again I don't know what to look for. I too think that it would be great if this unit was already upgraded.
