I'd have to check to see what McCormack does.

That is really surprising, every review that I have read says that the DNA-500 is warm, detailed and transparent with a great low end. The only reason that I posted about this amp is because the X250 heats up my room and it may be too warm during the summer. I still have my A21 and could use it during the summer. Other option would be to sell the A21 and find a used DNA-250 to use during the summer or sell the Pass and get a DNA-500. I would prefer to keep the X-250.
