12vdc gain stage or preamp

[dublin78]

I have been seaching for a suitable gain stage for my "music centre" to go between my Monica DAC - RB ss IV stage and my Charlize T amp.

Whilst testing these units, I used a Musical Fidelity preamp, so I am aware that the Charlize is capable of far more volume with some gain.

I am looking for a 24 - 12vdc (because I have this available already) gain stage to add. I have found these two options, the Partridge units looks suspiciously cheap, the Dantimax is larger and more expensive than I had hoped for.

Opinions?

I know that most gain stages are +/- 12v. I am being a bit lazy looking for a 12v solution.
