What is sick for me, is that I like the looks. It is really different and seems like it should fit into deep space somewhere. I just wish they had used different dacs but who knows. I look forward to the reviews. The price though, would love to see one in person.
For me the style is...well Picasso and a Klingon walked into a bar............. The 'Klingon" style was designed in the late 80's so from that point of view is dated and nothing new. Pity they did not stay with the restraint and integrity of AK100.
I know aesthetics is subjective but I think it looks like alianware which as an Industrial Designer I think is appealing to adolescents and not real grown up. I am sure they did it to make it appear smaller with the PCB being the full width of the player and they tried to hide the size with this 3D parallelogram device. It has sharp points which will be prone to wear. To be honest I think it is butt ugly and pretentious. Dont like it at all.
I reiterate, just my opinion
