Does anybody own a Jeff Rowland Daemon Integrated Amp.?

I used to respect all Rowland amps and circuit designs in the days when they were linear, but to me when they changed direction to Class-D, my respect didn't go with them, but their chassis sure looks the goods, if that's your bag.

Cheers George   

George, I'm sure there are a lot of guy's out there who feel the way you do, but there will be somebody out there who will look past the class D and throw this beast into their system.

@serious7. As I have posted in another thread here on Agon, I heard the JR Daemon at Axpona 2017. To me it powered the best sounding room that I visited. And I was not alone in that assessment. I advise you to listen to the Daemon if possible.

If i ever get the chance I will.

I have heard the Daemon on two different occasions. It is an excellent integrated with some very nice ergonomics. I thought the sound was good, only eclipsed by the various tube amps that I heard at the same events.
The sound is also very much of the later generation compared to the earlier class A/AB from the 6,8,9 generation. ( which like George above, I also much prefer).

A couple thoughts on this.....

It is well known that the Rowland class D gear has an exceptionally long break in period.  I suspect many of those who might be turned off by class D sound, either haven't listened to one of his current offerings, or have listened to a piece that isn't broken in.

That said, the amp which I believe is the bread and butter of current Rowland thinking, is the 625 S2 stereo amp which is 330watts of class A/AB power.  It is an extraordinary piece of gear.  

And yes, the chassis looks good, which is my bag.

The Class D may be at the output stage of this unit and we know the power is there but I question the "pre-amp section", how worthy is it..? Is it equal to a $15,000 or $25,000 or more separate pre-amp, transistor or tube.?
I wonder.?

Somebody can tell me if the deamon play better than my 925+corue+aeris and PSU. If it’s the case i don’t undesrtand the difference in the price???

No way Daemon will be better than your current suite of Rowland gear.

Thank’s. Did you do the comparisions deamon vs 925+corus+aeris+PSU? Or you think that the technology of the deamon is less performant? Also i bought the innuos SE streamer with only usb output. Jeff Rowland say that the soun is better if we use SPDIF.  So i will probably buy the converter Berkeley alpha. Do you have an opinion about that?
