in For Sale (FS) Classifieds
McCormack DNA-125 power amplifier modded by Bob Backert of RHB Sound Dezign with upgraded signal path caps (Black Gate) and power supply. Cost of mod was $500.00 alone. The amp looks good except for a few blemishes here and there. Nothing big. Rear lettering has aged in a few places. The amp performs and sounds great. Original box & packing materials included. Local pick up is welcome and encouraged. I will ship at buyer's expense. $995

    Yeah, why? I just grabbed the A21 because...now this. How will this rate compared to the Parasound A21 or the Marsh a200?

    I'd put my money on the modded McCormack over the Parasound. Only one way to find out. Neither should be too hard to sell when you make a choice.

    This wasn't included in the original post but PayPal fees and shipping costs, including insurance, are the buyer's responsibility.

    Thanks!

    So, either the Parasound A21, McCormack or my Marsh a200 is going on the block. Will have to see which one makes the cut.

    Hello Brock,

    I have simply decided to go in a different direction. The M1DAC is quite nice, as so many have already kindly stated.
