Yeah, I'm interested in this amp but it'd be really nice to see some impressions and reviews before buying.

I like the design, clean yet elegant. I think the power and gain switch is better off on front together with headphone jack because both switches will be used a lot and is more convenient being located on the front panel. Should also look nice in silver color.
If this has a coax/optical input even on a single shared port this is going to be a hell of a desktop unit. The only headphone amp/dac anyone could need to drive any headphone out there.
By using an AC power adapter, does it means the design is derived from O2? It sure bested O2 in power output and measurements.
Kudos John

Super interested to see how this will play with planars. The specs are reading pretty well!

Been using O2+ODAC combo (early version, not the newest one) with AKG Annie/K712 for over two years now and this new amp+DAC intrigues me a lot.
Though I'm not sure if it's worth the replacement. Hopefully someone can review this promising product and compare with the old/current one.

John mentioned it was 3" in diameter.
Waiting for the reviews to start rolling in before I pull the trigger on The Element.
