I saw this amp many months ago and fell in love with the design, very simple.  It will finally go on sale in Japan in December.  Now I realize this is not tecnically a headphone amp but it could be for some headphones.  The guts are an Elekit which have a few headphone amps on the market.
 
Based on looks alone I have to have this amp.
 
Has anyone had a chance to listen to it or even seen it.

Wow. That looks really slick. I'd want to hear what someone would have to say about how it sounds.

nobody eh....? well on the off chance someone picks one up or even sees one for that matter I'd appreciate a quick impression. As the guts are by Elekit (and they have a few nice headphone amps on the market) it's the packaging i'm curious about, fit and finish, of the final product (price for these is going to run over 800USD)

If only it had a headphone jack....  
 
Wonder how it would sound driving the HE-xx series?

That is beyond gorgeous. Too bad it doesn't have a headphone input.

thanks for posting this.
I am visiting Tokyo now and went to the demo. It does look good and sounded great also. I was never impressed with EH when used in my SP MPX, but this one sounded much nice.
The guys at the store did not how this amp responds to tube rolling. 
 
I am not staying till this goes onto sale, but if it was already on sale, there is a good change I picked one up

translation..... I jump in it.

 
Something like this with the new orthos could be magical though.

For some reason it reminds me of a modern, minimalistic old locomotive..
 
But still very sleek at the same time.
