New models that are still using the last models DAC. I'm scratching my head on that one. They'll probably introduce a DA3 in six months for an upgrade price of ~ $2,500.

I have to say now that they've brought back the processor loop I am strongly considering one of these to replace my C2300 + DAC. I wish it wasn't hidden in the trim menu, but at least it's there.

I don't use my DAC for much beyond the basics, are there common digital formats that the DA2 doesn't support that would require a DA3?

Curious to see the Connect App, and if it will work on the C2700, other components, etc....
NETWORK CONNECTED FOR CONTROL AND UPDATES In addition to using the included remote control or the front panel controls, the C2800 can be connected to your network which will unlock control options offered through our complimentary Connect app (scheduled to be available April 2024). Designed for both Android and Apple devices, the Connect app can be used to control key functions of the C2800 including Volume control as well as Input and Output selection

I would also envision a DA3 module to offer built in bluetooth or wireless streaming capability since that is the direction the digital world seems to be gravitating toward. It just strikes me odd that Mc brings out "New" preamps that didn't offer a significant upgrade to the digital section of the unit. Weird.

Yeah, I don't disagree w/the digital improvement, but at the same time, the analog section is important as well. At the end of the day, 16/44 decoding has to be at its zenith after decades of DACs. Without getting into a major DAC debate here, I have/had over the years the D100, 2 W4S DACs, used the built-in MCD500 DAC and probably others, I wouldn't say I've found massive differences in those for 16/44 content. Some people here even prefer the much older MDA1000.

I like the subwoofer function with cross over which my MEN220 is doing now. If C55 had room correction that would be awesome.
