For analogue, ok. But you understand that you can't bypass the Rose gain/output stage, as least when using the Rose as the source...

My point was, he doesn't need the linestage. The R150B is a $10k streamer/DAC/preamp, replete with analogue-in. Why would the OP buy...

The Rose is a decent bit of kit. The best sound will come from using the best preamp - whether that's the Rose, or something else. But...

I too have owned the Vista but not the Sequel. The Vista is far newer technology for almost every component - panel, XO, cabinet, etc...

That's precisely what it is; and that is precisely what it is for. Note though - while the charge accelerates the attraction of...
