McIntosh D100 with MC 275

Anyone heard the new D100 with an MC275? Would the sound be well short of C48/C50 ?

If you want and need the digital inputs of the d100, why should it matter if a preamp w/o them is better sounding. Seems like a digital preamp w/ a tube power amp is a great combo...and of course they are Mac.

Guess the DAC in the D100 is pretty good and that is important to me. Just want the overall sound to be good. Bongofury - what speakers do you have?

Scrool down almost to the bottom for a photo of the pair: http://cave.hometheaterhifi.com/profiles/blogs/2013-ces-show-report-part-2-robert-kozel
