I just bought the H360 for my revel salon's and I demoed the rost and h190, the replacement for the h160, and tbh they all sounded so clean and 'live' that any of the 3 sounded good and the h190 with 150/250 into 4ohms was going to be the one I bought until I put my hand on the case and it was slightly warm, maybe i'm being over cautious, but since I personally couldn't hear a difference between the two I opted for the extra headroom of the h360 for the power hungry revel's.
Hegel vs Rogue
I am looking to upgrade my system and am debating whether to go one of two routes:
A) Hegel H160 w/ Schiit Mani phono stage
B) Rogue Sphinx v2. w/ DAC (approx $1000-1500)
I like the power and DAC/Airplay options of the Hegel, but wonder if the Rogue paired with the right DAC would give a warmer more robust sound thanks to its tube-hybrid design. Any thoughts?
Would welcome all thoughts/suggestions, as well as good DAC pairings with the Rogue Sphinx in the $1000-$1500 range.
Thanks!
