Default DA2 Upgrade Module released

https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/product...l-Audio-Module

So the modules are truly upgradeable after all. Very cool to see this.

Customer Service must have gotten tired of me calling weekly.

Must be installed by a certified dealer/repair shop.

Terrific.......... the only drawback I can see (other than must be installed by a 'certified tech' of some sort) is their statement that it cannot be ordered as part of a new piece of gear. Guess they don't want to be stuck with the DA1 modules all ready on the shelf.

From their email....

“Ordering

The DA2 Upgrade Kit has an MSRP of $1,000 with shipping expected to begin in November 2019. Contact your local Authorized McIntosh Dealer or Authorized McIntosh Service Agency today to schedule your upgrade.”

I assume installation is an additional cost.
