The C2800 was recently released. I currently have a C2700 and looked at the new pre-amp from the perspective of whether it was worth upgrading.
New Features
I'm sure there are other new features I'm overlooking. Since the digital circuitry is the same between the C2700 and C2800 (the DA2 module), I'm less inclined to upgrade. Even if McIntosh did come out with a DA3 module, I could easily upgrade my C2700 with the new module. The remaining features are all nice to have, though for me, I would only benefit from the convenience features (mobile, network connectivity, etc.), and from a sound fidelity standpoint, it would be the same. If I added more complexity to my setup, which would benefit from the features, sure, I would consider upgrading.
Choosing to upgrade from a C2700 or older C2200+ will largely depend on the benefits of these features in your setup. Thinking of purchasing a C2800 and if so, what would you be upgrading from? Any of these features make this a must-have?
