Emotiva XSP vs. Creek 50A


I am thinking of either using a Creek 50A integrated as a pre-amp or getting an Emotiva XSP-1 gen.2 (is that the latest upgraded one?).

Has anybody compared them against each other?

I need line inputs only, but would like a good remote.

Thx, but do they still make that?  I can't find the XDA-2 online anywhere.

And why not use the pre-out on an integrated?

It's descent fair priced stuff, but don't expect great sound, reliability. 
Im a owner of xpa-1's WHICH I AM T YING TO SELL,......HINT,. HIINT. 

im selling due to the midrange, treble, and the grainy nature of the amp, for movies, great. For fine listening,. Not so great, the gain is also too high, which leads to a lot of hiss on many good recordings. 
 If you want a only rock and roll product, get emotiva, if you want more natural real sound look elsewhere.
