After viewing them all again, I'm gonna go against the flow and say I prefer the colour scheme of A (black case with red text logo and volume control), but at the same time to just say they all look fine to me visually...

D here.

ClieOS · Aug 1, 2013 at 2:02 AM

Voted D but I really want D with the red knob.

I too like the suggestion of D with a red knob which would look modern, I think. D with the silver knob as shown looks classic to me (1970s/1980's receiver or integrated amp), which is also cool in its own way. Calling it platinum is also a really good suggestion.

How do I pre-order? where do i paypal to? I voted for D

evilhippie · Aug 1, 2013 at 3:46 AM

Really like the way D looks as well, as the silver is the by far the classiest looking design. Can't wait to see what comes of this... and oh yeah, take my money already

I liked the D, voted for it.

James I have a question, how easy it will be the change those opamps and buffers. I mean I have "zero" experience with soldering and all. Do you think everybody can still use the DIY kit and change the components easily?

doki81 · Aug 1, 2013 at 4:23 AM

would like to get D with red knob too...

They will probably be in the DIP8 socket so all you need to do is unplug / replug them. You can get a IC puller to make it easier. The only thing you need to be careful is the orientation of the opamp. Plug it in on the wrong direction will fry the chip.

Another vote for D + red

The silver E12, simply stunning.

It seems like I can do it with the help of a few nice headfiers. I am in, I might get one to pair with X5. Wonderful news. I hope Europe will get some too, like Audiogarden France.

The silver with gold accents might look good too...

TekeRugburn · Aug 1, 2013 at 6:39 AM

Interesting.

gikigill · Aug 1, 2013 at 7:19 AM

Put me down for one.

And make it silver and if I may request just a bit more power.
