Yup. It had been about a week since I looked at their site.
This is the manual for it. They talk about its design in it too. https://rolls.com/doc/manuals/manual_PA555.pdf

Any reviews you recommend?

[charmerci]

I found them via Facebook ads where there were some positive comments underneath but looking for reviews, I guess not! 
FWIW, they are located in Salt Lake City, they have a bunch of products, they posted photos of their workplace and you can always talk with them on the phone.

after checking some stuff realized better to go balanced preamp...amp needs balanced and dac also have balanced output...search continues

I had one a few years back. It's not balanced but you know that.

With a few cap upgrades and some tube rolling, it can be turned into a pretty decent preamp.

But straight out of the box? Meh.
