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!

I have the Rogue Cronus Magnum ll with Usher cp6371 along with the Yiggy and it's a great combo. In no way shape or form is the bottom end loose!
Everyone will have their own opinions when a question like that is asked.
You need to listen in your system, not always easy I know.
