This will allow the ModWright component to remain current as technology advances, providing ModWright makes new DAC boards available as DAC improvements roll out. In my opinion, McIntosh should have designed their preamp DACs to be modular. The ModWright KWI 200 looks like it will be a winner.

Agree 100% with your comments Dan. The LS100 preamp which I am looking at for later this year (hope to compare with the C2300 so I'm following your comments there with high interest) also allows for the same modular design with either DAC or MM/MC phono-preamp built in as options.
I think the KWI200 is very nice looking as well
