Thanks to Patu for mentioning this within the Phoenix thread
Sounds like it's going to be a cut down version of the Phoenix, put into a single chassis.
The specs do look rather well and have definitely caught my attention!!

It doesn't look like the circuitry is anywhere near as intricate as the two-box Phoenix, but I'm sure it will still sound very good. I also wouldn't expect it to be able to put out the same level of power. It's amazing how this man comes out with something new almost every 2 months.
I do like how on the page it says "Two pictures of Roc" and then 8 pictures follow it.
I just contacted Kingwa and I'm ordering one. For me, it's the right item for the right price at the right time. It appears to have the exact same output stage (as Kingwa basically says in the description) as the Phoenix but it just doesn't have the separated, dual mono power supply and the screen/remote control system. I'd love a Phoenix but it'd really put me in the hole money wise. I can sell my M3 to cover most of the cost of the Roc.
Check out the Roc:
Compared to the Phoenix:
Some subtle differences, where that metal divider is in the Phoenix on the Roc there's some power caps apparently, and there's the power supply nestled in on the Roc where the control unit circuitry is (where it receives the signal from up top). Anyway I like the price and the form factor, it's going to have similar qualities to the Phoenix in sound although it is not as "balanced" as some balanced amps are, not having a dual mono power supply that I can surmise. Anyway, I'm talking with Kingwa about it to get one.

Just don't sell the M^3 before you listen to the Roc
