***Time To Decide***Need Opinions on 3 Rigs***

Trying to get off the merry go round & looking to move up from Creek EVO50a with Ruby DAC,hoping for increased resolution & a touch more organic tone.For instance drums sound good but don't have that hear into the skin tone all of my tube amps have had...
 Speakers are Harbeth M30.1,all cables Nordost Leif,well treated room,musical taste all over the map..
 My research has lead me to 3 systems within my budget..
1:Quad PA-One remote controlled,ALL Tube(incl.tube rectification) PreAmp/DAC/Headphone driving Schiit Audio Vidar(100/200 x 2 @ 8/4ohms)..I had a Quad VA-One integrated and ADORED that amp so I know how good this control amp can sound...
2:Quad PA-One with Gold Note PA-10( 75/150 x 2@8/4ohms),adds $1000.00 to system 1...
 3:Full boat Gold Note,SA-10 & PA-10....Adds $2000.00 more than system 1 with Vidar amp & $1000.00 over system 2......
 So what does Agon think?
