Its been pretty quite lately from Mac.
I would love to see a new tube integrated to replace the MA2275. I know.....wishful thinking.

A new version of the C2300 will be great. A C2600 without DAC because the C1100 is too expensive.

Agree. The C22 is the current answer, just different cosmetics.

The C22 has been discontinued; the last production run has finished.

They just released a new standalone phono amp, so that probably won't change for a while. The phono stage in the MA7900 is spectacular, too, so no shoortage of performance. But I have wondered what would happen if they were to explore a digital phono stage. Devialet does this, I think. It would work like the DSP in their tuners, where the analog signal is digitized, processed, and converted back to analog. The RIAA curve woulld be programmed in. No matter your cartridge, impedance, output level, it would sound pure and clean and potentially could offer truly silent backgrounds. It could process out rumble and other distortions. It would make a turntable plug-and-play once the deck and cartridge were set up, and cartridge switching types would love it. With their expertise in DSP and DAC technology, this would seem doable for them.

The Devialet had a terrible hiss with low output MC cartridges. The noisiest phono preamp I ever used. It might have been very configurable but that is all it had going for it.
