I had the Ref 5 years ago and now have the XP22, but in completely different systems and rooms so my comparisons wouldn't be valid. Thanks!

I compared them in the same system. The XP-22 is faster and more detailed. The Ref 6 has a bit more depth but here is the biggest difference the Pass is significantly quieter, blacker backgrounds which allow you to more clearly hear low level details.
A friend of mine after hearing it said that you don’t realize how much noise is present until it’s not there. He had a Ref 6 and replaced it with a XP22.
I could have easily lived with the Xp22 but need more balance inputs in my main system, my second system only has one item that’s balanced so it’s perfect in that system
