Based on what I have owned and your stated requirements, and if your budget is truly in the $10k range, Pass is hard to beat. Now if you would consider tubes, which you should IMO, then its entirely a different story. The Freya is a great value. Sounds even better with upgraded tubes. I owned one for a while to see what all the chatter was about. It is by no means reference grade though, IMO.
Looking for a preamp with XLR connections
Looking for a reference preamp with XLR inputs and outputs. Looking to spend less than 10k, no tubes. Any suggestion? Thought about the schitt Freya+, but audio science review just review it, and the measurements were aweful.
Thank you for your recommendations.
