I noticed that the new C2500 preamp is now shown on the McIntosh web site. I downloaded the brochure and owner’s manual. From what I am reading it looks like it combines the C2300 and D100 digital section. It states that it has the better headphone output and improved USB specs. Does anyone know what the MSRP is for this new unit?
I was intending to buy the C2300 but might hold off and get this instead as I listen to digital sources often from my iTunes library with my Apple TV and Oppo player. My digital files are at least CD quality and many are HD Tracks 24/96. However I listen to vinyl records often as well with a collection dating back to the 60s. Since this unit is not available yet I am curious if anyone else is as enthused as I am to buy this new preamp.
