Pass Labs doesn't make a Preamp/DAC/Streamer and if it did I'm sure it would cost more than I'm willing to pay.
I like the sound of my Pass Labs XOno more than any other phono stage I've owned. However, I think the preamp section of my FiiO M11 Pro and also the preamp section of my Brooklyn Bridge sounds as good or better than my Pass Labs X1 control preamp. In fact, my tubes4hifi SP14 preamp is more transparent and musical than my Pass Labs X1.
It seems to me that your prejudice against op-amps might be clouding your judgement when it comes to evaluating sound quality, which I believe to be the most important aspect of any audio component.
Good luck,
