In a separate discussion, Head-Direct indicated they designed this amplifier as single ended as they felt it sounded best.  Don't know if I agree but that is what they communicated.

Which makes me wonder if the 4pin xlr is just the L+ L-, R+ R- wired from the speaker outputs. The amp board looks like it could be balanced(hard to tell from the pic), but I only see one power supply.

Yeah, that's what I am wondering too.

The knobs are NOT plastic; they are metal and have very stiff stepped attenuator.  This baby is SS not tube (YES!)  Expected to have ~20W of power if i remembered correctly.

 

I hope by production time, they make the balance out sound as good or better than SE.  I'd be a bit disappointed if SE sounded better.

 

I'm just glad it's SS because, IMO, the HE-6 is meant to be paired with a SS amp, not tube.

Nope, not yet because I came late to the meet.  They are still tweaking with the bass and fixing some other issues so it's not supposed to be in production for another couple months.

 Any recommended DAC's that might pair with the good?
