I'm going to audition all the Mc preamps so I know what I perceive as the real difference. I want McIntosh to win and it may if the MCD1100 is as good as jdandy and Masterlu say it is.. If true.. then I may use the MCD1100 as a preamp and DAC from my Apple Computer. If I stick with Klipsch then it's a no brainier to use the MC275. Otherwise, the MC601 pair is in my sights and maybe Harbeth 40.1, who knows! Back to the CP-800 & CA-M600 w/ 802s, I'm sure I'd be like everyone else or look like Im trying to copy Abbey Road Studios.. Still great looking and fantastic sounding system could be at hand, with pro credibility. Lots and lots of options is right! Love this hobby!! Bill Sent from my iPad using A.Aficionado |

I own a cp-800, ca-2300, B&W 802 Diamond connected with a mac mini and A+.I play my ripped cds or a lot HD music bought from HD Tracks,Linn, and so on.
i have to say that i am greatly satisfied with this combination.musically speaking it is great. only disappointing that the update to make the DAC work at 24/192 and the ethernet port alive has not happened yet despite a lot of "promises". right now cp-800 is almost two years old now.maybe is time for me to move on? |

The DAC does work at 24/192 using the Coax or AES/EBU input with software version 1.01. The USB input is limited right now to 24/96.

Mike........Wait a minute. After all the MCD1100 bashing over its USB input not operating at 32bit/192kHz when it was released, and how this is ruining McIntosh's reputation, now I'm hearing the Classe' CP-800 is without even 24bit/192kHz capabilities and no actual delivery time for the firmware update even after two years, plus a dead Ethernet port. Oh my! Looks like Classe' may be on the skids, too. Where are all the Classe' dooms day saber rattlers? This is horrible.
