Anyone heard the E.A.R. "Acute"?

Sounds interesting, CDP w/tubed output stage and analog domain volume. Just wondering if anyone has had a chance to listen to one?

Arsh, reading the other threads on this subject, it appears to be a little of both w/ an emphasis on current management. Keep me posted and Happy Listening!
