Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC

Hello, I am new to this forum but I have a question. I am trying to pair an amp + DAC with my Wilson Sabrinas. I have listened to Jeff Rowlands integrated with the Aeris DAC. And the VAC Sigma integrated with the Aeris DAC. Price is a factor and so is space. Does the 625 need a pre-amp? Any suggestions or thoughts?

I love Loreena too. Yes, they are both Canadian. 
As for the Continuum, I heard it and passed. I think (at least to my ears) the 625 is better. And down the road I can add a pre-amp. Thanks you for letting me know. Wilson likes JR with the Sabrinas too. Could it be I have decided?????

Hi again Rinpoche, "problem" is that by listening to M625 S2 you have set your reference point very high. I suspect that if you get any other amp, including Continuum S2, you will place yourself onto a path of regrets and second guessing yourself, followed by an unavoidable course of "upgraditis furiosa".


Rather, why not try to megotiate a price break with Angie?

Wrong. Better ask the dealer to throw in some great cables and power cord. This is high end audio shopping not oriental bazaar.

My aplogies Inna, I really have no experience what so ever shopping oriental bazars, so I have no idea about negotiation practices therein. Want to help me with that next time I have the opportunity?


Conversely, I have negotiated all my musical purchases since 1970... Both sides of the Pond, both North and South of the 49th. Have I broken etiquette again on this thread by suggesting the application of such uncooth acquisitional techniques?
