Audinst HUD-mini

[spartan86]

 
So one of my favorite companies Audinst is about to introduce a new product. They are doing a special sale this month.
Can someone look at the specs and at least guess how is it different from HUD-mx1? There are no reviews at this time.
I cannot decide which version of theirs DAC to buy for my laptop.
Here is theirs products page.
Thanks.
 

Spoiler: Edit%20(details)%3A

 
DAC: PCM1791A
AMPs: LME49860 and AD8397
Looks a lot like mx1 to me.

I've found some pics from Headfonia.
Maybe they'll do a review soon.

headfonia.com Alright while this is pretty good DAC, I'm not sure if I prefer it to the HUD-MX1.

It's on sale for $100 for the rest of the month: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Audinst-HUD-mini-Hi-Fi-USB-Audio-DAC-/180927550552?pt=US_Home_Audio_Amplifiers_Preamps&hash=item2a201f5458#ht_6147wt_1163
 
Looks to be a good deal for a transportable all in one that can also work as a USB to TOSLINK converter. Even has an output selector switch for toggling between the line out and the headphone out and both 1/8" and 1/4" jacks. I'm suspecting that the power swing for headphones won't be that great without the ability to use an AC adapter though.

Look here for a mini-review.
