Hi MacroJack, just came by this fine Rowland Daemon thread!
All, at this time, not too much is known about Daemon, except for the preliminary information posted on the Rowland site, and a few other tidbits here and there. I have chatted with Jeff Rowland just a couple of days ago. According to Jeff, Daemon was a real hit at the Munich High End Show, where it was featured in the Nordost room, with a full complement of Nordost Odin 2 PCS, ICs, and speaker wires.
Worth pointing out that the Munich show was the very first public appearance of Daemon.... In spite of the tremendous reception that the device seems to have received, Daemon in the room was far from being fully broken in.... I can't wait to read reports about devices that have undergone some serious break in.... For that, we might have to wait a little while longer.
As I learn more about it from the factory, I will post Daemon details here.
In case you asked, I also have been very fond of Jeff Rowland devices for the last 18 years or so.... started with the Model 7 version 4 mono amp, then M312 stereo, M625 stereo (original version), M725 mono, and most recently the incredible M925 monos.... Had the original Capri in my system for 18 months, then the Criterion linestage, and now I am driving M925s directly with the Rowland Aeris DAC into a pair of Vienna Acoustic Die Muzik speakers.
Regards, Guido
