Rogue Audio Stereo 100, Atlas Magnum III anybody running them? Sound signatures?


I have been looking at the Rogue Stereo 100, and at the Atlas Magnum III. not a lot of info or reviews out there (including on this site).
So who runs either of these? and what do they sound like e.g.  Warm and airy, or cool and sterile?
Plan on a Schiit Freya +, and Bifrost 2 front end with TT, and feeding Martin Logan EM ESLs.

Rick458, if you opt for the Atlas Magnum III, please give us a report.  Like 1 or 2 others here, I have a Rogue RP-1, with it feeding a McIntosh MC2120 (I am original owner and had it rebuilt about 10 years ago) driving Fyne Audio F702s (recently replaced Infinity Modulus system from 1992), with a Shiit Bifrost for DAC and NAD 568 CD player.  The sound is very open, with excellent imaging, particularly as regards depth.  I play music fairly loud, but not, as someone else mentioned, “crazy.” My music choices range from the Moody Blues, CCR, and other soft rock, to female vocals and classical music, especially Beethoven, Brahms, Schubert, and Richard Strauss. I am finding the speakers open up at higher volume levels.   When I switched from a lower-end NAD CD/ NAD integrated amp/Infinities to this system, in stages over a short period, I was simply stunned by the difference  and far, far better sound, in every regard. While the McIntosh has 120 WPC, I am considering bi-amping with the McIntosh at the low end and the AMIII driving the higher end.  If I do that, and the results warrant, I might even replace the MC2120 with a second AMIII.
 

Would love to hear opinions from you and others on the Atlas Magnum III.
