Anyone trying out the Rogue Audio Dragon power amp?

I just bought one. It's excellent. "Upgraded" from PS Audio M 700 monos. Running it to Monitor Audio Platinum 200 v1 with RME ADI dac from Eversolo DMP A6 streamer. Huge soundstage improvement. I rolled out the JJ Tubes for Golden Lions from the start. Very happy and also confused as to why there is very little written about this amp. I got one used for $2700 from TMR. Hopefully my ears never feel the need to wander again! LOL

Heard the newer DragoN mono blocs two years in a row at AXPONA audio show driving Magnepan speakers, of which the sound signature of the stereo model should be identical.    

The sound was powerful, smooth and very enjoyable each time. Hard to beat for a reasonable cost, low weight high powered package.  

The nCore modules it uses are superb, as I’ve enjoyed them in the NAD M22 (v1 and v2 sound largely the same to me). Being myself a longtime user of Rogue gear, and also co-admin of the Facebook Rogue fan group, I thought to try DragonN’s. Chatting with a fellow in that group whom I trust (we have similar findings on ARC gear) - he had owned the DragoN stereo and M22, and told me to stick with the NAD. That said, I would really have to hear for myself to be sure.

Btw even the M22 v1 will hit 300 Watts no problem, beating its spec. I do find it needs to be paired to a tube preamp. A SS pre with this amp is no fun at all. That must be the rational for the tube stage in the DragoN. BUT I’m not a fan of 12AU7 (which Rogue unfortunately seems to pick by default now), and also hate the JJ’s they typically ship gear with.

I ran a Rogue RP-1 pre and PS Audio S300 (Ice Power) for several years.  I upgraded the RP-1 with Mullards from Andy's Tube Services.   It made me a fan of running Tubed Pre with Class D amps.  Be interested to know how a nice Tubed Pre would sound with class D hybrid. 

I own both the Apollo Dark Monos and the Dragon Monos, I can say that the Dragon Monos are exceptional and after putting some Telefunken NOS in they were taken up another level maybe two levels. I use the Dragons in the summer as the heat coming off the Apollos is real.
