SC2 is better on every single pre i have tried it on over a HC or HCDR. Even my 32.5 sounded great with one. The difference the SC2 made to my Prefix over the HC2 was sensational, and one of those unforgettable moments that had me smiling and shaking my head.

i,am picking up this saturday so i will let you know what i think thanks for all ur answers , has any one tried a 555 ps with a cdx2 

This part of your question seems to have been overlooked.

I auditioned a CDX2 with 555PS  against the XPS2 and found the 555PS greatly superior. Not surprising given the cost differential. Later traded the CDX2 in for a CDX2.2 + nDAC powered by my 555PS. 

However here's a link to a related topic. Judged for yourself

If you doubt the ability of a SC to bring benefits to a much lower cost component, try it on  Headline. That will kill  any doubt.

I would then hold out for a 252 though.
