Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC


Hello, I am new to this forum but I have a question. I am trying to pair an amp + DAC with my Wilson Sabrinas. I have listened to Jeff Rowlands integrated with the Aeris DAC. And the VAC Sigma integrated with the Aeris DAC. Price is a factor and so is space. Does the 625 need a pre-amp? Any suggestions or thoughts?

Knghifi,
See her post above, she's doing a home audition with both the Rowland and the VAC driving her Sabrinas. 
Charles, 
Knghifi, thanks for that input.  Do you happen to know which output tap they were using on the 200iq?

Regards,

It is possible for me to audition the Momentum with the Wilson's. The Wilson dealer also sells D'Agostino. But the price is crazy for me! I am barely scraping to afford the VAC and the JR is even a bit more. I have no doubt it is stunning in many ways!! Thank you for you suggestion. I will also seriously consider the JR. It is also beautiful in its weight and clarity. I started the thread because it is a hard decision and both amps have their benefits. Will let you know.
If the D'Agostino amplifier exceeds your budget I wouldn't even think about it.  This is where High End audio gets people frustrated and in trouble with spending.  You'll find a terrific amplifier within your price range to match your Sabrinas,  very possibly today 😊
Charles, 
Sounds like fun and done the right way.   Sure to be a winner in the end. 🏆
