Creek Destiny or Rogue Cronus Magnum?

What is your opinion as to which has the best overall sound?
That's it. Which would you listen to for hours, perhaps years with a smile on your face and not think about anything but the music? This may be a bit of apples and oranges, but I am only interested in the overall sound for the long run.
Thank you. I look forward to your opinion.

Thank you, the TAS review is most informative.
Creek opinions anyone? Anyone?

I hate it when people do this.... but I'm going to do it anyway!

I've owned the Cronus and have to tell you, a Cayin A70T or A88T is far superior and can be had for similar money. I auditioned a slew of ~$2k integrated amps and the A70T is in a different league all together.

Sorry for not sticking to your original offerings!

Vinyladdict - While I can't discount your statement that the Cayin is a better value from a price / performance standpoint, I would still seriously consider the Rogue as it is American made and I know I would get long term support if I would need to get it repaired. Can the same be said for Chinese gear?

Pdrher, Vinyladdict,
I really appreciate your opinions. My focus IS on creating an all American system. I KNOW the Creek is not American, but I may consider it. As no one is offering any opinion of it, apparently it either stinks or it is a super sleeper no one wants to share.
I am also looking for the long term, and I think I'd like to go American made.
