Wait to decide until the M33 is out.

Thanks Kal!

The M33 is an integrated amp, right?
I currently have a McIntosh MA7000 ... curious how it would compare.

Timex vs. Rolex.

Fair enough ...

My main question is how the M50.2 would compare to the Aurender N10 and DCS Network Bridge which both seem to get a lot of praise.

I like the Bluesound speakers, so the M50.2 would be a nice way to integrate my main system.

Absolutely. NAD makes fine products as does Timex. Have owned several of each.

So, if NAD is to McIntosh as Timex is to Rolex
is Bryston to McIntosh as TAG Heuer is to Rolex?

Looked up the M33. Very promising.

The M33 will feature the new Eigentakt amp modules developed by Purifi (Bruno Putzeys & Lars Risbo). These are really good.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the M33 is crowned “King of the Hill” as far as reasonably priced integrated amps go.

I think such analogies are useless. An apple is not an orange.
