Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ?

Phillip, i haven't heard the YBA classic amps, but i'v heard the YBA Passion amps, YBA Passion preamp, the one with 1 volume control and not 2.
They would always be at the Stereophile show on the JM Lab Utopia speakers.
The system had a huge soundstage and a tube like sound.
How did you like the YBA Passion series?
For CD players, I'v always liked the Sony Xa7es.
My friend has the La Audio Pro-2 Tube CD player.
It sounds very smooth.
Other CD players i'v liked that i'v heard over the years were the Cary Audio CD 303/300, LECTOR CDP 7TL, Canary Audio CD-200 and Electrocompaniet ECM1-UP

HI, i'v heard the Metronome dac, transport at the Stereophile shows in NY.
But I wasn't able to a A/B it to anything.
My friend has the the CEC TL-1X transport modified by Reference audio Mods with a Audio Aero Prima dac.
This is one of the best combinations i'v heard.
It sounded so analog like a turntable.
The only thing i could compare it to, would be the REIMYO CDP-777 CD Transport/Player, that uses the JVC K2 processor in it.
Another top of the line dac and transport i heard that sounded amazing was the Eximus Dac and Transport.
I dont think they make it anymore.
