Never heard the Nuforce and never said it wasn't resolving. I do know that many of the highly resolving amps I have heard sound that way by emphasizing the leading edge of the note, usually to the detriment of the tone and sustain of the harmonics. For example you hear all the finger work on the strings of a guitar, but lose some of the wood body tone and decay of the note. This is one big area of difference between most solid state and tube amps. These days, the best solid state gear (read expensive) gets (most) of the tone and decay of the note, while even modest priced tube gear has become more resolving than in the past.
I have a Rogue Stereo 90 and I would not call it a resolution champ, although that aspect was much improved after modifying the caps, resistors and wiring. But it sounds more like real music than my solid state Quad 606 or a Sim Audio W-3 that I have used in my system.
The only way to find out if the Rogue has the resolution you want is to try it in your system.
