RWA amp with DODD preamp both battery powered

I should get Dodd Audio battery preamp next week (from good people of Underwood) and I also have purchased RWA (Red Wine Audio) Sig.30 (Omega version) from another audiophile here on AgoN.

I thought of using RWA in my second system with some monitor (still big question mark on which- I like M&D but might go with Omegas instead). However since I am going to have them both , I thought about pairing these battery powered pieces and see what happens. I am not sure if RWA 30wpc will have enough juice to drive my Quatros but I will give it a shoot ......if only out of curiosity.

Do you guys have any thoughts or opinions about these two working together or maybe someone actually tried this combo in his/her system????

I am all ears.

Update - replaced Dodd Audio preamp with Isabella/dac pream as well as upgraded my Omega Sig 30 integrated to Sig.30.2 amp.

Here are some pics from another NY meeting and RWA gear accompanied by WLM La Scala monitor from Austria.

Mrjstark,
What's up!!
Nice review.
Would you say the isabella will work with atmasphere m60 and/or conrad johnson premier 4 amps.
Or should I consider the dodd.
Thanks,
Peter

Nothing I've used works better with the Atma-sphere amp than the Atma-sphere pre IHO. Loved the Dodd with my Music Reference, but the Atma-sphere gears works really well together, a great match with your Merlins.

What's up with you????
Shopping around???

Re; your question, well
you are the only one who can answer that.
I do not own neither one of these amps. (are you testing me?) ;)

Pubul57 owns Atma-amp and I would consider his opinion more meaningful then my own point of view or speculation.

If you can find Dodd, I can bring the RWA.
The only way to be sure.
