Pass Labs X1 or Krell Phantom II

Hello Guys,

I'm waiting for a Krell Evo 402e bought on the web classified from Spain .. it's on the way.
Now I own a Pass Labs X1 preamp and since I have reed Cast cables work very well between Krell units I found a Krell Phantom II preamp with 3 meter Nordost cast cable on another web classified... unfortunately black and not silver like the 402e.
Btw .. what do you think about a change .. does someone thinks it should be an upgrade? .. a step ahead? .. or the extra money wont' be a valid deal? 

Thanks in advance for your opinions and support

Ps: I searched and than bought the Krell Evo 402e to drive my loved Thiel CS 2.4

Hi,
I am currently looking for a preamp, would like to hear your opinion & advice between Pass Labs X1 and Krell Phantom II, and also CAST vs XLR.

What makes CAST more advantage than XLR?
Clarity, transparency, 3d holographic or bass?
Since you are using KCT, and someone offer me a pre-owned KCT, need your advice and thanks in advance.

Thanks for your advice.

@sfstereo & rird
Normal dac -> xlr -> KCT -> cast -> FPB-400cx.

Would these setup ruined the sound quality, or I have to get a Krell dac/processor with CAST too?
