Resolution Audio Cantata

Anyone hear this yet?

I have and I thought it was spectacular, but wasn't able to A/B it with any of the typical favs.

I have previously had a Linn Klimax DS on demo. Overall the Cantata is my favourite, sound up there with the Linn, whilst being much more convenient to use and never crashing... The detail recovery and imaging are first rate, and the treble is less glassy than the dCs whilst remaining clear. Superb. Frank

The excellent tonal neutrality of the LIO-8 is equalled, the musical timbre is better, the stereo imaging wider and deeper and the resolution of low level detail, and particularly the intelligibility of low level detail against louder parts of the mix is remarkable. I tried also a Linn Klimax DS at twice the price and whilst excellent it was clearly inferior to the Cantata.
