Puriifi vs. Pascal?

Has anyone compared the Purifi and Pascal class D modules (preferably with the Purifi stock input buffer)? I'm looking to buy one or the other from VTV. Internet searches have come up blank.

I recently picked up the ClassDAudio Mini GaN 5 out of curiosity and, in isolation, it's quite good. I want to compare it to either Pascal (which I'm told is a dark horse) or Purifi once I establish which is superior sonically. I'll also be able to compare it to a SS push pull class A amp once it arrives back to me early next week (although there is a10X power difference between the two).

I own both but my Purifi unit has a custom gain stage and input buffer built by AmpDude. Sonically, at least to my ears on my system which has a high level of detail, the Pascals have a softer/warmer presentation, and the Purifi's to me are simply correct from top to bottom. They're both excellent, just different.

Hope that helps,

Don
