DNA-HT3 has more solid bass than CA-200 and more musical, very clean, crisp and very detail. I set it up with ARC LS 15 pre and sounding is very sweet from VR GEN4 HSE and Legacy Signature III. I cannot believe the song stage is no less than CLASSE CA-200. I like what I am hearing from HT3. Don't take my words, just give yourself for audition it.
