That is just beautiful.

but, where's the headphone jack

 

[kwkarth]

Absolutely gorgeous!

 

[Vertigo-1]

That thing is a beauty. My first thought was "whoa, they integrated a violin into an amp!"

 

[jbannow]

That is very sweet looking ... any idea how much it is going to cost?

 

[evilcthul]

No idea how much it will set you back but I'm sure the cost will be reasonable...

 

[iLLogiCo]

Hey Joseph,

You should make a tube stage SACD or DVD-A player or a DAC with a tube buffered output with the option of enabling/disabling the circuit.

Show them who's boss...

By the way if you're interested here are the official prices for overseas orders ex. shipping:

Our SACD Product FOB Price:

SCD-1 Price: US$460 (Transistor audio output)
SCD-2 Price: US$506 (Vacuum tube audio output)

Found some internal shots of the player:

Looks rather neat... Not too sure about the quality of the parts though (not enough detail to read all the markings)

I'm not sure how good is its material ! I know it use own brand of coupling cap. I think it parts quality not bad but not sure it is Audiophile grade or not. Even they want to buy Audio grade material but not easy ! It have many imitation parts in China.

e.g "ELNA" CERAFINE High Voltage E-cap. It had discontinue for 2 years but it still can found in many China products. Why ? They keep huge quantity for use for many years ? I don't think it is possible to keep it to use for many years but it may be imitation.
Alsp 27mm V.R Pot - It is difference outlooking compare with Alps web site. I know it is made by a China Company "Soundwell". I'm sure it quality can not compare with Real "Alps" Pot.
I'm not strong on design Digital products. I'm don't like to become a Joke in AUdio world

. I'm try to study it soon and hope to manufacturer Digital products if I really can made a high quality Digital products or looking for some designer to help me !

That's true, but I'm sure this player is built better than a non-ES Sony SACD player (it's certainly got a rather hefty toroidal transformer), and it's undercuts other tubed CDPs by several hundred dollars.

man that looks great would look better sitting here on my desk

Yes ! It will be acceptable if this price retail in N.A. Unfortunately ! It will retail in much higher price due some reason like , freight charge , Advertisement , Import tax , Distributor profite , Dealers profite....... Do you remenber a story of Cyber-20. How much it sell in Hong Kong and How much in N.A ? May be you consider have a trip to China and take it back to N.A. It may be still have some money remain in your pockets. (I think it retail price in N.A will be more than US$1,000.) So balance may be enought for a air tickets to HongKong.
