It's looks like Ray's saying it's available, but I see nothing on the pricing page. Can this new amp be connected to my imod line out with a special cable? Has Ken or Craig mentioned any products coming out?

Why bother?  The iDevice LOD is a single-ended source and you can use the 1/8" Line-In provided just like you do with any other amp.
 
I did order a Hirose female to Protector male balanced TWag IC last week from Craig for the iBasso Boomslang DAC to use with this amp, just like with the PB1 Toucan.  I could then feed the Boomslang via the SPDIF input connector thru the Sonicweld Diverter connected to the MacBook USB out.  The Sonicweld is not strictly necessary, but it does provide a bit-perfect output, unlike the native USB.  That way, it's fully balanced all the way to the headphones.

Wow can't wait to see the retail price indeed

It would be really interesting to see if it is on par with some desktop balanced amplifiers.

It drove the HE6s well enough that it could have fooled me.

Beautiful layout. Even the gain control is dual.

I really like the design.  A nice size, and a great layout with clever markings.

Ray has just confirmed via email that there will be a separate pre-order thread posted at some point here on Head-Fi with intro pricing--no word on actual price yet. That will be the ordering mechanism and not the RSA website.  Just posting this so that we don't all bombard him asking the same question(s).  ETA for shipping is still Xmas, pending arrival of the chassis.

I think it is beautiful. It will drive any phone and you have a voltage swing in balanced of 30 volts. Who would have thought this just a year ago? Well I guess someone did. :^) Yes, the markings are cool.

I'm going to be getting a review loaner soon.  Looking forward to trying it with the HE-6
