New integrated amp

Hello and good day. I’m trying to decide on one of 3 integrated amps.
1- CODA CSiB V2
2- Plinius Hiato
3- Belles Virtuoso (this one seems to be a long shot, as I’ve been waiting, and watching for its release for 2 1/2 years).
My question is this, why one over the other, what are the strengths and weaknesses of each brand?
I appreciate any feedback.

I’m heavily leaning toward either the CODA, the ModWright, or MAYBE the Belles...
the CODA has a 10 YEAR warranty, not sure if the ModWright, or the Belles can compete in that arena...
David Belles is supposed to be creating his ‘swan song’ amp with the Virtuoso. Interesting to say the least.
The ModWright is a consideration, simply because Dan Wright is known for his upgrades to other gear, notably the OPPO UDP 205, of which is one of my sources....
But, I’ve always been interested in the house sound of PASS, and CODA is a very obvious choice because the guys that Started CODA were part of Threshold with Nelson back in the 80’s....
Choices.....
