McCormack DNA-500

Is the DNA-500 rather warm sounding or is it qualified as neutral and very detailed. I am leery of harsh high frequencies.

Thank you.

I thought the amp was a little bottom heavy...which many people like. I earlier owned a DNA-2 Platinum revision, which had a similar sonic signature. The DNA-500 was transparent in the highs, therefore the quality of the highs was dependent on what was upstream.

Perhaps you need to address some other issue in your system. Otherwise, I would recommend buying a used DNA-500, so it can be resold if necessary without a significant loss.
