Is SPL Gainstation a good preamp?

[Ume]

I have a Scope Professional and I wonder if it's possible to sync the Spl Gainstation with it.

Has anyone tried it?

Or should I go for Summit Audio 2BA -221

i have a SPL Gainstation with Lundahl transformers and a NOS Mullard tube and I love it. Great for guitar going into Dynatube. I don't have the version with the AD converter but that is irrelevant since I have the A16 Ultra. I know nothing about the quality of the SPL converters....but as a all in one Class A pre-amp at a reasonable cost, I am very happy. It has a nice feature of dialing in the amount of tube saturation that you would like....

It says

Double S/P-DIF output: RCA and optical
The converted signal is routed in parallel to the RCA and
optical outputs. The digital signal is transferred in professional
S/P-DIF format without sample rate data in the status
block.
We recommend that you check the documentation on your
receiving device to ensure that it can process the professional
S/P-DIF format (some devices only accept consumer
format). If your receiving device does not identify the
sample rate, it most likely needs the status-block data
and does not automatically recognize the incoming sample
rate.

My question is ; Can my Scope proffesional process the professional S/P-DIF format?

The Gianstation is _extremely_ fast (without lundahl-transormer) , good for drums, slap-bass and acoustic guitar.
The lundahl-transformer sounds good for "soft-transient" signals.

you will need 2:
one with- and one without lundahl-transfoemers
