Which preamp?

I am making the move to SACD and now am faced with this choice.
Which preamp to put into the system to replace my Krell KPS-25sc
(CD and preamp combined). Does anyone have experience with this choice:

The Pass x-1 using IC cables to connect to my Krell 400cx amp or
a Krell KCT that connects to the amp with the Krell CAST cables.

any advice is most appreciated (and other recommendations as well). thanks.

I think I would keep the 25 and add the SACD feeding it.

Please make sure that the CD playback equals the 25's, or you will probably be very sad that you sold it.

Otherwise, stay with the CAST connection via the KCT.

This is just my opinion. I sold my older Krell and got a new SACD player. Thank goodness, it beats my older set-up. I find that I have so much on CD, that CD's are still my main source material....by far.
