More general specs, now
And it works best with digital inputs. But the specs are probably moots if it sounds bad, right? Well, the first reviews have been really positive (see the press section of the official website).
Now the little beast:
And now the really big caveat, it's MRSP ... > 10000 €.
EDIT: I'm aware I am a bit raving , but it's the first time I saw that kind of specs, and it even seems to sound good
