Spatial Audio Raven Preamp

Spatial is supposed to be shipping the first "wave" from pre orders of this preamplifier in May, does anyone have one on order? Was hoping to hear about it from AXPONA but I guess they were not there. It's on my list for future possibilities. It seems to check all my boxes if I need a preamp.

@fthompson251 What preamp are you currently using with your CODA S5.5? I am looking forward to hearing your take on the Raven preamp with the CODA.

I have the CODA #16 amp. My long-range plan is to have a tube preamp in this system.

A thank you to the 2 preamp designers for your comments on this thread and on AudioCircle. 

BTW - How close to the Raven preamp do you need to be for the remote to work?

@yyzsantabarbara    I ended up not needing a preamp, I use a Legacy Audio Wavelet II as my Preamp. I drive the top of my Legacy Focus XD's with the Coda and the internal amps in the speakers drive the bass. The Wavelet II has room correction software in it.

@yyzsantabarbara The remote on the Raven works very well even at 20-25 ft as long as it has a clear line of sight to the preamp

My last question on the Raven Revelation preamp.

Does it support the Balanced standard, AES48?

I keep my amp far away from the gear. I also sold my Holo Serene preamp a few days ago (an excellent SS preamp) and now looking for a tube preamp to fill the void.
