I own the latest version of the Kismet Stereo amp and all I can say from 'my personal' experience is that it is fabulous. I have owned lots of of quality gear from quality manufactures over the years and my Kismet stereo amp is my favorite amplifier that I have had in my listening room.
I have a friend who owns Pass Lab gear and it is great, love it. It has some advantages such as astectics and resale. I have not done a direct comparison in my listening room so I can't comment on which sounds best. I would suggest not to underestimate the Kismet.
