Hi:
I would imagine you have purchased something by now, but I'll add my bit to this thread.
I used a DPL-2 in my system for about a year and a half that I purchased at a Lyric Hi-Fi demo sale. The DPL-2 is VERY transparent, but, as is common with many entry-level preamps, its power supply is limited and the preamp audibly distorted with demanding musical passages (I was using a powerful Bryston amp and efficient Dunlavy speakers that never distorted at similar volume with any of my other preamps - it was the Jadis). I ultimately put my slightly less transparent, but overall better sounding Audio Research LS-3 back into the system and sold the Jadis. The Jadis was reliable, however, never requiring service, and I sold it for more than I paid for it, so no regrets and I would consider Jadis' other products.
Good luck
