It's an excellent preamp, but it also has a great DAC, supposedly incredible asynch USB to DAC implementation for PC-sourced audio, and has sub out, crossover/bass mgmt, EQ, tone controls, etc. Google the reviews.

I've heard of that one, even took a brief look. I'll take a closer one. Of special interest will be how it might work with MC501s.
