Parasound Zpre3?

Anybody have one or a Zpre2? I need a preamp in my den system as I’ve run out of analog inputs on my KEF LS50 Wireless speakers. The extra output would help too for my Cavalii headphone amp. How’s the headphone amp on the Parasound? My headphones are Sennheiser 6xx. I notice it has a phono stage too. How is it? I already have a Lounge Audio LCR MKIII w/silver. My turntable is a Denon DP-60L w/Ortofon Bronze. I’d also be connecting a Node 2i and Oppo 103 to it. My other alternative is a Schiit Saga.

Thanks for any input.

I've thinking of getting a Zpre3;
I'm trying to research user/owner reviews of it.
Parasound has always made GREAT stuff.

I been trying to find out how "neutral" it is.

I've also looking at Apollon, but they're more than I want to spend right now.

I'm a Parasound fan.

What about the newly introduced New Classic 200 Pre? Phono AND a new digital section.

I found the ZDac one of the best < $1,000 dac's out there.
Best,

Correction the Zpre3 doesn't have a phono stage. I was thinking about the 200 Pre.  On the 200 Pre, how's the DAC, phono and headphone amp on it?
