Pass is technology with discrete electronic components, PS Audio Stellar is all in smd ... moreover the Stellar does not work without remote control and some in the world have already accused defects
are discrete electronic components a bad thing?


no, they are an advantage in case of repair.
Also in case of assistance Mr. Pass or the helper are always available, at PS Audio they have not solved problems on some Stellar owners in the world.

It's fun to see everyone rushing to list all the phono preamps in the world when the opener has to pick one of three shortlisted candidates!   LOL LOL LOL
