Manley Steelhead V2 as pre-amp

I know the Steelhead is regarded as one of the best tubed phono stages out there, but how does it sound as a standard preamp from a DAC or CD player?

Opinions, experience wanted. Please let me know your thoughts and what you compared it against.

Thanks,

I use it with my DAC and cdp via a Skipjack and it is a fine sounding a transparent preamp. Of course with either TT one MM and MC it is the cat's whiskers.

I use a Manley Skipjack and have 4 additional line level inputs with the Steelhead; this is all the preamp capability I need.
