PS AUDIO bhk pre-amp vs upper level reference pre-amps?

I’m looking for some feedback from people who have replaced their more costly reference pre-amps with a PS audio bhk or have heard it up against such units.
Im currently using an Audio Research ref 6 between a PS audio direct stream memory player and dac with the the bhk 300 mono amps. Would the synergy with a bhk pre in my system be worth replacing my pre?

The BHK preamp is a Stereophile Class A rated preamp. It’s a superb unit and I love it. I’ve owned the Ref 6 but could never warm up to it. I always felt the treble on the Ref 6 was a little aggressive and not as smooth as I felt it should sound. The synergy with the rest of your system should be wonderful and I personally would swap out preamps. 

The BHK is an absolutely great preamp for not a lot of money. Bascom King with Paul McGowan and everyone at PS Audio do an awesome job.
