NAD C522BEE here yet? Reports?

Reviews in the UK state that the new special edition NAD $299 replacement for the C521 (due here now), called the C522BEE, is truly wonderful, and of sufficient upgrade to perhaps supplant the slightly improved C542 ($499) for most budget uses. I'm thinking about either for a second (HT) system adjunct for occasional use. Any early listeners out there? Ern
