Has anyone heard the BACCH-SP "purifier" 3D audiophile imager?

I can't post a URL here, but you can find information about this device on the Theoretica Web site.

Robert Harley, John Atkinson, & .other celebrity reviewers (Andrew Quint in TAS as recently as last January) have given this box high praise.  Apparently, it's some sort of DSP that allegedly creates a breathtaking holographic 3D soundstage from two-channel content.

Yes, virtual surround processors have been around since, jeez, at least the 1990s, but this one purports to be a truly high-end device, including an audiophile-grade (whatever that means) DAC, 31-band equalizer, binaural recording capabilities, & ADC.  But for 25 grand, I'd expect it to also clean your records & wash your socks.

I'm kinda skeptical at this point, but better ears than mine have heaped high praise indeed.  Has anybody here actually heard a unit work on their own systems with familiar 2-channel content?

The BAACH software will need hardware to run like a MAC.

I too am looking at the BAACH 4MAC as their 20k+ hardware option is out of my budget. But since I have a DAC/streamer that connects directly to the Ethernet, not sure is BAACH can be used in my setup. I asked BAACH manufacturer Theoretica by email, but they never replied
