like you i know very little about the tech side of things. but having owned a LD amp, in the past, i will say the company did impress me.

Are there any internal shots posted yet ?

I don't believe so. The prototype shots posted on Little-Tube were just of the outside.

I'm really curious to see what it will use for the output stage (Discrete vs OPAMP). Hopefully if it uses an OPAMP it's socketed to make for easy rolling, would be very interesting to see a comparison between the Compass and this with an HDAM if that's the case.

Awesome, socketed OPAMPs! Also, such a simple design, can't wait to see some reviews as to how it sounds...

Hmmmm I didn't see sockets, but perhaps I just missed them.

What are socketed opamps and what's the big deal about them?

Socketed opamps allow you to roll opamps like you would roll tubes in a tube amp; basically you can buy different opamps and put them in in place of the stock ones to tune the sound to your liking.

I get it just like the Zero or the Compass which you can switch different HDAM opas.

The only downside to opamps is, for the most part they don't have as good SQ as a good discrete circuit. They usually draw less power and use less space though.

The case for the DAC looks like the same one as the MKV, which was a pain to roll opamps with.

But I would say the case would be much less crowded, unless it also has two transformers in it like the MKV.
