CODA vs Hegel

Has anyone compared these two brands recently? I’m looking at the CODA No. 8 amp and the Hegel H390. I have a good streaming DAC/preamp should I go CODA, but wondering how well Hegel stacks up as an all in one. 
I have a frame of reference for Naim, Rega, and Rogue integrateds also, so if anyone has had familiarity comparing CODA against those, I’d appreciate the insight.

I own the Coda #16 amp and it’s amazing.

As the owner of the CODA CX I feel very comfortable recommending anything built in last 7 years.  Truly stunning craftsmanship and internals.

I just spent the last couple of months researching (not listening) many tube and solid state integrated amps. The one that kept coming up as providing superior performance was the Coda. I just purchased a Coda CSiB. It hasn't arrived yet but I'm hoping to replace separates.

Coda has been well respected outside the US for decades. Interest in the US has increased only recently. Coda is currently backordered on all amps for at least a month, maybe more.
