I just saw this on the website for portaphile, occasionally hoping there is a balanced option to the mighty fine 627.

Seems a little odd to announce it as much as 9 months prior to release, but I hope it ends up sounding decent.
 
I know the P-627 has plenty of fans, so Cesar clearly knows how to design an amp.
 
The marketplace is becoming unbelievably crowded with Amps, DACs, DAC-Amps, DAPs, etc. etc.    That's great for us head-fiers, but in an increasingly-saturated market, it must be becoming increasingly difficult for companies to differentiate themselves, successfully compete, and maintain sales levels.
 
I really hope this doesn't mean too many of the little guys get squeezed-out, as they have much to offer head-fiers around the world, and I'd be sad to see them disappear.

I can't wait, I am just keen to see what he comes up with next.

The cost of $999 seem to be eager to express its sound will be best in portable use.
Maybe can compare wa2 which values identically?
