MCT 80 Versus MCT 500

[godfatherpc]

Looking at getting a transport. I have d1100 preamp and 275 amp. I was looking at MCT 80 and MCT 500. Does anybody know it they are the same transport and if power supplies and same transport. I like to size of the 80 for my rack but im thinking they are going to be better part in the 500. Thanks for any info.

I would think the MCT 500 or MCT 450 would match up better with your D1100. I believe the MCT 80 is design to mainly match up with the Headphone Amp/Integrated amp the MHA 150 or the previous models.

ya I see that it was made for there headphone amp. The MCT 500 spec out the same and the MCT80 would fit next to my EAR phono stage. They dont make the 450 anymore.

Ahhh, I did not realize the 450 was discontied, it is still shown on their website. I would imagine their is not a noticeable difference, therefore I would go with whichever fit my setup best.
