I have wanted to upgrade to the C1100 from the C2600. The problem comes in that you also have to figure in a new Dac. If you already own a Dac then go for the C1100 but if you
do not it is quite a large price difference. I would not want to own the C1100 without a
Quad balance matching amplifier so now you are also “upgrading “ down the road. I do
beleave the preamplifier is the heart of the electronics however. I think the suggestions of a
used 452 works with either preamp best. Enjoy the journey.
