One should rather daven with a minyan, than daven K’vasikin (i.e. reciting Shema just before sunrise and beginning Shmona Esrei at sunrise) without a minyan, (unless one regularly davens K’vasikin and it happens that on a particular day he is unable to daven with a K’vasikin minyan – in which case he may daven without a minyan, K’vasikin). Biur Halacha 58:1, Maaseh Rav L’Gr”a 25, S’U Pri Yitzchak 1, Minchas Itzchok 3:71, Piskei Tshuvos 58:6
If one regularly davens K’vasikin only on certain special days (e.g. each erev Rosh Chodesh) and it happens that on a particular day that he usually davens K’vasikin he is unable to daven with a K’vasikin minyan, one may daven K’vasikin, without a minyan. Halichos Shlomo (R’ Shlomo Zalmen Auerbach) 5:17, Piskei Tshuvos 58:6 fn65
