Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?

Sounds interesting, CDP w/tubed output stage and analog domain volume. Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to listen to one?

It is without a doubt the most musical player I've ever heard or owned. I would also recommend tube rolling as a good NOS tube provides that little bit of magic people talk about. The only player I would be interested in going to would be the new Acute 4/DAC 4 combo.

What are musical tastes? Always glad to hear of another who loves the EAR Acute. It is a great player." Telefunken and Tungstram tubes. I listen to a lot of different music, but mainly acoustic, folk, jazz, classic rock.
