I am also in the UK and am patiently awaiting UK release but am not hopeful of this happening in the short term. (Avanced mp3 players tell me they will not be stocking it).
I know this is an awkward question but import duty etc with pricejapan?

Hi
I paid $760 (£528 converted today might have been less at the time) which included the leather case and shipping from Japan.
 
British customs
VAT £16.82
Parcel Force handling fees £13.50

Total £30.32 No import or Excise Duty (this time!)

You could be lucky and get yours delivered without having to pay the V** man a penny

Just as PJ to l..........

  Thanks. Would the dual DAC make any difference in sound, like wider soundstage or so?

IMO it makes a huge difference. Wider soundstage and appears to have more depth and body to the sound.
Only comes into play when used in Balanced/AGC mode
