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 !

@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.

Ok...  After some serious consideration and discussions, I decided to purchase the CODA 0.7x preamp.  I am waiting to receive it and when it arrives and I get some "miles" on it, I'll post an update as to what I'm hearing.  My CODA #16 amp is still in the build process as CODA is waiting for a couple of component parts to finish it.

Thanks for posting, I will look forward to your thoughts once the new gear has had time to settle.

I've owned the Pass XP-32 and my Hegel P30A was quieter. Lowest noise preamp I've had. The XP-32 had better transparency in the upper frequencies though. Hegel is more polite up top and this always bugged me.

Read user reviews from people who've upgraded to the xp-32 from the xp-22 and say the latter had more bloom in the mids, which is more up my alley. I'm somewhat interested in getting an XP-22 now.
