Parasound A21 vs Parasound HCA-3500?


Has anyone out there owned both of these amps or compared them to one another?
If so, what are the sonic differences?
Which one is sonically superior overall, and in what ways?
Thanks!

Hello,
I am currently using a basic system:
Parasound P/LD-2000 preamp, Paradigm Reference Studio 100 v.2 loudspeakers, and a modded Sony XA777ES CD player.
Thanks.
What concerns me about the HCA-3500 is the fact that they have sort of a forceful, forward, and slightly edgy or etched quality to the highs.
I was wondering if the A21 is like this as well, or does it have a somewhat more relaxed sound?
Thanks.
