About the DNA-2 Limited Anniversary
The McCormack DNA-2 Limited Anniversary Edition (LAE) is a highly regarded solid-state power amplifier designed by Steve McCormack. It features a dual-mono layout and uses the Distributed Node Amplifier (DNA) design, which places small capacitors directly beside each output device for faster, cleaner music reproduction. The LAE version is a limited run of only 50 units, considered superior to the standard and deluxe DNA-2 models, with different transistors and enhanced sonic qualities. It delivers 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms and 600 watts into 4 ohms, with the ability to drive almost any speaker. The amplifier has a 1/4" thick aluminum faceplate with a mill finish, exposed heat sinks for ventilation, and exclusive custom-made output connectors that extend dynamic range. It weighs about 92 pounds and is praised for its powerful, clean sound with a slightly dark top end. The LAE is often cited as one of the best solid-state amplifiers made in the late 1990s and remains highly sought after by audiophiles.
