As per the following thread:

I have contacted Cattylink Research in China and they are offering a price of $625 USD (+ import fees and shipping from me Toronto) on this amazing player.
Impressions and comparisons rank this unit above several $1k players, and it uses key components like the DAC, clock, and class-A output stage similar to those only found in units from the likes of Gryphon, and Mark Levinson.

If you live in Canada and are interested, please post and send me a PM.
Local pick-up from downtown Toronto would be possible when they come in too, so you can save yourself the shipping costs.
A minimum of 5 + myself is required for the deal to go through.
Here is the list of the other prospective buyers:
Bruno (Picked-up)
Brian (Picked up)
Jeff (Shipped, to Mac)
Xeno7651 (Picked up)
Randy (Shipped)
What their status means: this is the progression of different situations for each person, and how I'll designate what stage they are at:
1) Tenantative: I'm waiting to confirm they are committed to the process, pricing, etc.
2) Committed: they have confirmed they are in on the group buy. Yes, I of course you still haven't paid anything at the 'Committed' point, it's just so I know when to send out all the funding requests at one time.
Once all participants are 'Committed', I will send their emails to Cattylink, and Snowy will email out Funding Requests for $625 from each person.
3) Paid 1st installment (Cattylink): will be updated when they have answered Cattylink and sent funds to Snowy
Once Cattylink gets funds for 6 units, they will ship out. Once I receive the shipment, I will send a funding request showing you the total for shipping from Toronto to your location + any import fees / taxes.
4) Paid 2nd installment (Chillysalsa): once I get this I will update you.
5) Shipped: to Final Destination!
My numerous 100% positive feedbacks:
