Rogue audio RP-7 versus PS Audio BHK preamplifier


I have an old Rogue Audio Super Magnum 99 tube preamplifier that I will be replacing in the not too far future. I really liked the sound of the magnum 99 except for the tube hiss. It’s not audible when playing music but still bothers me, particularly when the volume is low. It also constructs the soundstage, an effect that is evident when I connect the external DAC directly to the amplifier. 

from what I read both of these models should be a significant improvement over the magnum 99. I am wondering if anyone who have heard them both has any opinions/thoughts on how they compare.

I have the RP-7 driving a Rogue Stereo 100. The RP7 is incredibly dynamic, quiet, and airy in the highs, and has a multitude of inputs and versatility. I swapped the stock JJ 12AU7 with Radiotechniques and that sweetened the sound even more, and added more bass whack. I don't have any experience with the BHK, but am super smitten with the RP7. It's a fantastic pre amp.
