Pass Labs XA100.5 or XA160.5 or keep the Lexicon ZX7 and buy a Arc preamp?

Get one of the Pass’s and go direct with your A10 or you can go with a Schiit Freya, which you can choose between tube, solid state, or passive outputs on the fly. It’s single ended or balanced, 3x inputs, has a great relay controlled 128 stepped volume control and it’s got remote as well.

I have been reading a lot about the XA160.5 is much better than the XA100.5. It has the best of both worlds. Thank you for the input and will check out the link you sent. 

I would think the tubed freya may sound better? Have you had experience with both or either? Thank you,
