Pass Labs XP32 or XP22?


I am considering buying Pass Labs, specifically the XA60.8 monoblocks. I am hoping that someone familiar with the preams could advise me.  XP22 or XP32?

Thank you

I have a Pass Labs 250.8.  As some others here have said, the ARC REF6 has a very sweet synergy with the Pass.  I also tried going MSB DAC to amp, and VAC Renaissance Mark V as well, and the ARC REF6 sounded significantly better to me.  Replacing the stock power cord with a Shunyata Alpha v2 really kicked it up another notch as well.  I have heard good things about Backert, but not having heard one in my system, can't say.  I can say that you won't be sorry with the ARC Ref6 (but nothing lower . . . I first tried an ARC LS28SE and was unimpressed.  Just a little better than the MSB direct to amp).  ARC preamps really hold their value as well.
