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?

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?

ricpoche,
at some point you just make a decision knowing that nothing is perfect, you will always have people telling you what you should do or what's better(despite the fact they probably haven't actually heard the component). It took me a long time to realize my ears are the only ones that count. I submit it's great to ask for opinions as a way of narrowing down what to listen to, but "your ears and wallet" will make the right decision for you.

I would say we maintained a relative neutrality, most certainly when it came to the wallet. I did hint slightly that LAMM could be the best choice from purely audiophile perspective. But there are other factors here at play, namely aesthetics, convinience, size, familiarity, reliability. And I only did it because I think I got a pretty good idea of what Rinpoche wants to accomplish.
I believe, we've been good and I find your statements totally incorrect and irrelevant when it comes to this thread.
By the way, what makes you think that nothing is perfect? This implies that you know everything. What a wonderful arrogance.

I have learned from all of you. In the end, it will come down to 'my ears and my wallet' -- and your advice has helped a lot. This gave me a forum to discuss and learn.
