upon second thought, im not too sure about the pricing
the sr-71b is priced at $650 so unless the price for all the other amps are going to be knocked down
 
edit: also can someone explain what its "dual mono design" is?
more like stereo?

$650.00 is the introductory price for the head-fi members and for the first 200 units ONLY.

The right and left channel each have their own power supply and electronics. The signal is handled in a pure manner with the results being better dynamics, less or no crosstalk and better general performance.

Just saw the video/quick interview on InnerFidelity. At first i was like "meh, another portable amp/dac that probably sounds awesome but that i cant afford, nothing special to see here".

Then RS picked up the HE-6 and my mind was blown.

Does it take external power or is it able to use that 5v usb power to drive HE-6? Thats some pretty fancy engineering. Are there any measurements available?
