Can someone care to summarise the feature set of the Isabellina HPA to-date ?

1. Same DAC module as Isabellina DAC
2. Same headphone amp module as Amphora
3. Fixed or Variable output options for DAC
4. Volume control type ? ( Goldpoint Attentuator ?)
5. SE outputs (RCA) x 1 ? Possible to have 2 outputs ?
6. USB + S/PDIF + Toslink input ( front or back selector ) ?
7. Analogue input for headphone amp (Y/N?)
8. Headphone amp gain selection ? (front or back selector) ?
9. Smaller or same battery as Isabellina ?
10. Same black casing as Isabellina ?
11. Smart battery charging ?
12. Operational while connect to charger ?
13. Will this only be available via head-fi or users overseas have to order through the distributors ?
14. Options - e.g. WBT RCA jacks ? Cap choice ? Internal wiring ?, Attentuator choices ?
15. Will bigger & higher battery voltage (2 x 12V) offers more power to the headphone amp ?
16. Anticipate play time (DAC, DAC+headphone amp) ?

I am sure some of the above were clarified by Vinnie sometime ago, but I would appreciate one "full" update on the feature sets.

Thanks in advance.
