D'Agostino Progression pre-amp vs Audio Research Ref6SE

I want to replace my, still very good ARC Ref 5SE with the D'Agostino Progression pre-amp or the ARC Ref 6SE.
Is there anyone who did a comparison of these.

I am not really interested in other brands. Thanks.

Empirically, I preferred the Progressionon all counts -- transients & dynamics, details, sense of phase correctness... They drove a 10kHz input impedance power amp and we played classical music, orchestral & opera. Not knowing your amp, I can't tell if you'll have similar results --or not. Regards

I use my current pre-amp with Krell Mono 400e, which is a very enjoyable combination. My goal is to go eventually also with the Progression power amp.
