In an effort to approach this more scientifically, I enlisted the help of a Wiim Pro Plus streaming DAC. I first listened with the digital out from the Wiim in an attempt to mark the characteristic of the DAC in with the Mc. Then I switched to analog out using the single ended connections offered on the Pro Plus β bypassing the MSA5500βs streaming DAC altogether.
I rounded out my experiment streaming directly from the Mc. I was a bit disappointed that the differences werenβt more than subtle. Especially seeing as how the McIntosh is an $8,000 US piece of equipment.
