Oh boy was I surprised when FedEx courier called me 30 minutes ago and said that he was waiting downstairs with a package for me. I expected this beauty to arrive Wednesday at the earliest. Rudi sent it Friday and it arrived today. Can shipment get any faster?
First thing which impressed me was the size of RP5.1. Damn I thought it would be half of the size it really is. I never really looked/thought the dimensions they have on the web site. And the weight. This sure ain't any light weight equipment (for a headphone amp). It weights ~6kg and you can feel it. Compared to HA1 MkII it's huge in every aspect.
I let it warm up for 10 minutes because it was still ice cold (yeah it's getting pretty cold here in Finland) then I hooked it up. I also took a look under the hood and everything looked very good. I think the build quality seems even much better in live than it looks in the pics they have on the web site.
About the sound... I won't say much about it yet. I have only listened this for 15 minutes now. But I can say that I have never ever enjoyed listening music as much as I am now. It has just so great amount of musicality and airiniess in its sound that it's something amazing.
I'll sure write more about it when it has bee burned in and I've calmed down.
