Steve McCormack's Magnum Opus, the DNA-500 amplifier, is the proverbial iron fist in a silk glove. With 500 watts per channel on tap, the DNA-500 displays a remarkable poise and ease with any loudspeaker system available today. At the same time, the DNA-500 offers a degree of refinement and finesse that few amplifiers can match. In the DNA-500 power and grace combine to bring you closer to the music.

Audition the DNA-500 and we think that you will agree that Steve has gone well beyond his design brief of engineering a high-powered amp that would carry on the McCormack tradition of offering near state-of-the-art performance at a fraction of the cost. Listening to a pre-production sample, Peter Moncrief (IAR 80) concluded "For music lovers,... (the DNA-500) has now captured the top honor as the best solid-state amp on the planet".

You can easily spend two or more times as much, but you can't buy a better solid-state power amplifier. Now that's value.
