Rowland 555

What are you using for a preamp?
mpd8 dac built in preamp only, it is great and I am satisfied with it. One of the few dacs where I did not feel neednfor external pre amp and one less extra box is nice.

If I didn't require HT bypass on my Corus preamp, I would try the MPD8 DAC.

Unfortunately no, this is my first rowland product. I would be interested in an opinion on this as well.
 
Jeff Rowland 555 with even a NAD M66 using a Brinkmann Bardo is a fantastic system. Speakers are Stenheim Alumine 3. Unreal dynamics.
Have you tried the Capri S2 with the 555? I have a Continuum S2 which I can use the preamp section when I demo the 555 in my system. I also have an Emotive Audio Epifania tube preamp but it's single ended only.
