Is the McCormack DNA 500 really as great as reported?
Anyone with enough experience to comment?

It sounds too good to be true. I would like to hear from other owners of the amp. Sue Kraft ( if I got her name right) of the Absolute Sound thinks it is not as good as the EDGE NL 10. The IAR review sounds like nothing comes close to it. So, we've got some difference of opinion (as expected). Therefore, I would like to hear more views. If it were as good as the IAR review said it was, then we are looking at the amplifier deal of the century at its price.
