I ended up ordering the Mc, with the slight taste of remorse.
I prefered an AVR or Marantz separates due to size and cost. With the 4 ohm speakers I was demoing with Mc and Marantz separates I noticed some defects seldomly in the highs with marantz but not the Mc at louder volumes. I don't know if it was DAC or power related.
Overall the sound quality was very close, but the occasional sound defect and that it's not rated properly for my speakers had me concerned.
The newest 7 channel amp is 150 watts per channel at 8 ohms.
The 5 channel is 140 watts per channel.
