Not intimate with the circuitry of both so I’m hypothesing that the Rogue as a dedicated 2channel preamp is better than the mrx for music based on design. Tubes vs solid state may also contribute

Mostly vinyl. Although recently added a streamer

I'm mostly digital, tho I do have a tt.
Thank you both for the inputs.


@racrawford65, I am speculating perhaps Rogue has a better phono stage? Tube could also be a major factor as well.

Do you use a separate DAC or build-in DAC from the streamer? I am 100% digital, wish I have more time to handle vinyl, so making digital to work well is my priority at the moment for this setup, although the integrated amp I am expecting, as you know, does seem to have a decent phono stage.
