I may check in Curry's to see if I can get one any quicker that way.

also looks fantastic and seems very well designed and well made. The
dac and amps are also very good (based partly on knowledge of them from

Going back to Pat's original question, I'm going to have to answer yes.
I've just been doing some critical listening against my main system
(see below). Of course this is hardly a fair comparison, but...
It sounds more than acceptable - in fact very, very good. It only
really slightly struggles
I agree entirely with Phil. The sound of this small box is just superb.
I've not heard any device of this type or price point that sounds
anywhere near as good. It certainly does not have anything of the

As a grumpy audiophile, I won't go as far as superb, but it sounds
really good, surprisingly better than I expected.
Its clear that there are real speakers in it, and by bi-amping it, and

The sound quality is excellent given the price point. It sounds
considerably better than the pair of Swan M200 bookshelf speakers I
have connected to a SB3 in my office.
There is an issue at high volume - on bass-heavy hiphop the output
distorts strongly in the bass by about 80 on the volume.

No, but for the discriminating listener I'll be performing audiophile
modifications to the unit including:
*Replacement of wall wart with much heavier linear supply.
*Addition of silver speaker wires internally.
*Coating of C-41 lacquer on woofers.
*Removal of metal speaker grills. (not
At least it's active/biamped.
