I'm curious about this statement -- please elaborate.
Your description of what you're looking for in a pre is actually how I might describe the RNP. It doesn't offer too much of any specific flavor IMO -- just 2 channels of high quality preamplification (and great DI) in a small form factor at a very good price.
Though I haven't used one to compare, I've read several opinions saying that the RNP and Sytek are quite similar and that the Sytek is a good, high quality "bread and butter" pre.
I think it's fair to say that the more particular the flavor a piece of gear offers, the less widely it can be used. Becuase it doesn't lean too far in any tonal direction, I think the RNP is a great "go to" pre for most sources.
