Anyone heard the new Theta Gen VIII ?

I'm looking for the "ultimate" Redbook CD playback.

I am intent on NOT using a pre-amp, so please limit comparisions to other DACs with "variable out".

Has anyone heard the Gen VIII? How does it compare to other DACs in this price range?

I once owned a Theta Miles CDP and thought it was one of the best sounding all-in-ones out there (currently own the A.A. Capitole 24/192)

Thanks to any & all!
