Analogue systems

I'm trtying to decide between the RS 70, and the Doepfer A-119.  
I will be using it primarily as a preamp to bring audio (and CV) 
from a S2000 sampler and from my Mac soundcard (Audiowerk 
8).

  I've read a few people complain about the A-119, saying that it 
distorts the incoming audio too easily and that it works best with 
compressed signals (a bit fiddly if I'm using the S2000).

  Does anyone have anything good or bad to say about the RS 
70?

Cheers,
