New Eversolo DMP-A10

Anybody see this thing that recently launched? Eversolo DMP-A10 https://www.eversolo.com/Product/index/model/DMP-A10/target/%5Bld%5DyN%2BvBjptVBKKmVViAFMcQ%3D%3D.html#/ which is a step up from the A8, just like the A8 was a step up from A6.

It sells for $3680 which is an unusual number, but the A8 had a weird price too. That extra money gets a much more impressive, larger enclosure, better DAC section, better power supply, improved clocking, isolation for better signal purity, and a bunch of other tweaks for sound quality. Features are expanded too, with room correction being the main thing but there are some more little things too.

I'm a sucker for Eversolo and will definitely be picking this up at some point soon. I feel like if this was sold by another brand it would cost way more money.

Funny..I just went through 2 weeks of trying to decide if I should go for an A8 or an A10. I decided that I didn't need what the A10 was offering (I know.."need" is a four letter word) but seriously, I absolutely loved the A8 compared to my internal McIntosh DA2 DAC..the instrument separation is otherworldly..it's that good. I felt the A10 improvements didn't necessarily equate to better sound..just more I/O and visual options.

I see it has no I2S output. Is I2S all that it's cracked up to be? Shouldn't a newly released player have this option?

It looks impressive although the website is a bit irritating. Two questions: I thought the A8 was supposed to sound better due to using an AKM dac but the A10 uses an ESS Pro. Any thought on that change? Second question: Has anyone bought an Eversolo product via Amazon and returned it? How was that process?

Now would seem to be the time to buy, if you're in the US, before new Chinese tariffs kick in.
