How is the Pass Labs X150.5 at low volume?

I’m interested in owner’s thoughts on the X150.5 I’m thinking of parting ways with my ARC D400MKII. The X150.5 has been on my want list…I’m mainly a late night, low volume listener. Wondering how the Pass does at low levels.

Pre: Primaluna prologue 3
Speakers: ProAc Response D2
DAC- Arc dac-7
Streamer: Aurender N100SC

@audioconnection , when you said “the lower input impedance will load down your preamp” did you mean amplifier’s low input impedance?
I’m in the market for a class A amp and considering the Pass stuff, hence the question.

@audioconnection , I don’t have a ARC amp, and never will, I’m looking for class A Pass amp, and the input impedance is 50/100 Kohms, SE/Balanced, so kinda thought you’re implying that their (Pass) input impedance is on the lower side, wanted to clarify the issue.

No need to be defensive here, I’m not your enemy, just read carefully, and I’m not the OP.

Have a good day.
