I'm considering upgrading from my Marantz PM8005 integrated amplifier to a McIntosh MA7900. The McIntosh has a USB connection and a high drive headphone output. 1st question; will the Mc's USB input sound as good as or better than my Calyx 24/192 DAC? 2nd question will the Mc's high drive headphone output sound as good as or better than my Sennheiser HDVA 600 headphone amp? If not, what are some good integrated amps in the $3 - 4000 range that also have balanced input and a 3D holographic soundstage with boat loads of detail resolution?
