Do a comparison between those three preamps on the McIntosh site and you'll see that the performance specs are virtually the same.

Thank you Jayvis, I haven’t even considered the C47, I will do a comparison.
Quick question: if I buy a pre-amp+DAC like the C47, 48, 52, is it possible in the future to add a better standalone DAC and bypass the DAC in those devices?
Or maybe I should get a C1100 and buy a separate DAC which is not a McIntosh?
I wish there was a way to take all those components home and just try them :-)
Thank you again!
