@liquidsound that is a good plan. Coda makes excellent amplifiers. They’re articulate with great clarity but maintain natural sound. Slightly on a cooler side which your XP-22 will balance out perfectly.
What digital or analog sources are you using?
Comparisons of the Pass-Labs XP-22 with the CODA 07X ?
I presently own a Pass-Labs XP-22 and I'm pretty happy with it. I just ordered a CODA #16 amp and was wondering if any out there have done a sonic comparison between the XP-22 and the 07X. I'm seriously considering switching preamps and would like to know more about the 07X from owners.
Thanks !

@audphile1 I have no analog sources. I have my Ethernet run through an Uptone Audio EtherREGEN device, which feeds an Innuos ZENith MK-III music server and Phoenix Re-clocker and use QoBuz as my music service. The Phoenix feeds USB to my Denafrips Terminator-Plus DAC. |
@liquidsound that’s a nice digital front end. Should sound great once your coda amp lands. |
I would recommend you check out the new PS Audio PMG signature preamp. I think it will give you what you’re after. It’s very fast and open, I was extremely impressed with it and I was able to compare it to the XP-22 directly in my own system. I like both very much but the PS Audio has more of the top end sparkle I think you’re looking for. |
@hk_fan Thanks... If I feel after I get my CODA #16 I need more sparkle on the top end, I'll seriously consider the PS PMG. |
