McIntosh MA-6600 to Simaudio Moon 700i?

[Mikeylee]

Hi all,

I am giving very serious consideration to selling my McIntosh MA-6600 integrated amp and purchasing a Simaudio 700i interacted amp to drive my Rockport Technology Atria speakers. Most of my listening is streaming audio from Tidal or a local drive through a Simaudio Moon DAC. My dealer, who I truly trust, believes I will get tighter and slightly deeper bass and more accurate shimmering highs. I truly enjoy my system as it is, but will gladly make the upgrade if the improvement in sound in worthy. By the way, I like the compactness and needing one less cable of an integrated, so I am not really interested in separates at this time. I have yet to try the 700i in my system.

Any thoughts on this integrated amp upgrade?
