Hello All, for me, after Rowland, there is… Rowland J
I was long hoping to evaluate the Rowland Daemon 1500W
Superintegrated amp. Could a class D integrated fulfill my yearning
for sonic nirvana, or would Daemon leave me pining for the wonderful
music of my separates: Rowland Aeris DAC fed by the ultra-capacitor-based
PSU external power supply, driving my beloved M925 monoblocks?
Eventually, a Daemon review unit was delivered on February 28th. I Started
break-in the following day, and have been scribbling my listening notes since…
The writing project will continue for at least a few months, until the device
has stabilized, and I have exercised several of its many input and output
features. I have been waiting for a long time for this 99Lbs single box
critter. It is Jeff Rowland’s integrated statement. The DAC + Preamp + 1500W/8
(2500W/4) dual-mono power amp in a single chassis measuring 17.5” x 15.25” x
9.5” is sounding amazing after just a little more than 300 hundred
hours of break-in.
Discovering the phenomenal musical beauty that
Daemon produces is being a fascinating experience… Already I am stunned by
Daemon's power reserve and unreal tonal grace. Join me to chat about my
adventure with this integrated flagship around its new Audiogon watering-hole:

Saluti, Guido
