Concerning preamps / linestages, Rowland currently has two offerings... The Capri S2, and the flagship Corus with external power supply. I suspect that Angie might have at have one or both of them to listen to... No worries, just like the M625 S2, these creatures do not sound shallow or solid statish *grins!*

On the other hand, I have my Rowland M925 monos fed directly by the Aeris DAC, and I am not suffering a ... in heaven *grins!

Thank you Facten, you are absolutely correct. I was merely pointing out that not only Nirvana is perfectly achievable with SS preamplifiers instead of tubed ones... But the complete abscence of a preamplifier in the chain need not be a limiting factor in the enjoyment of music.

As for my admittedly beloved M925s... No performance comparison with M625 S2 was implied.
