I’ve owned this piece of gear now since 2014. Going on a solid 10 years. I’ve considered selling it a few times but I can’t get rid of it because it’s that good. It’s a solid piece that has excellent bass and is built like a tank. I run everything through it from Vinyl to it’s intended Dac via headphones . Even at its original cost, I find the value good given it can drive speakers exceptionally well, and can act as a fully functional integrated amp that provides great solid state sound. I have a topping setup for office DAC and headamp but i keep going back to that warm MCIntosh sound.
