Hi!
My ES-1 arrived! And I suck with impressions! Not much to say, except that it's the best rig I've heard yet. The OIIs are getting worked like no tomorrow, and it shows - immense soundstage, extreme transparency, and articulate highs. Dark? Who says! Damn it's a treat! The OIIs haven't even fully charged up yet!
So this is what a specific headphone-tailored amp sounds like!
I guess the downside is that my crappy recordings sound even crappier now.. but this may be because I've seen what can be achieved with good recordings -- not necessarily the amp making the bad recordings sound worse.
Won't be upgrading the amp for a long while

The HE90 plug does look rather lonely, as Patu stated..
