Interesting I heard the C47 had some DAC issues but I believe the new firmware update fixed that up.
Thanks for the review; I'm leaning towards the C47.
How does the DAC (C52) compare to your Lumin S1?
So your Lumin is connected to your C52?
you have a very nice system...
I own a C52 and would go for the C47 over the C50 in a heartbeat. I love how the C52 sounds and it has a great dac inside. I know some complain of dac issues in the C50. My C52, as well as others I've read about, has been rock solid.
My other option was getting the C50 then just getting a better newer DAC for it...Do you have any thoughts on this setup?
That's not a bad idea, but my feelings would be to get the C47 (new) and enjoy the preamp AND dac. Add any saved money for the amp, speakers or cables. Then as funds allow, decide what, if any, dac you want/need. That money saved could go towards the MC452 instead of the MC153/MC302.
Your thoughts? I'd rather have the C47/MC452 combo and later on think of adding things like a tube dac or something. Cables are VERY important too, don't skimp on them.
Is there any other preamp / amp that would give the C47/MC152 a run for its in money in the same price range?
Which options are you referring to? thanks
Thanks I'm really considering this combo, but after reading other threads it could be worth while getting something a bit beefier like the MC302 but that is quite a price increase from the lower MC152.
is having more WPC than what specs says common in most other brands of amps?
