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?

I have just ordered the new Acute "5"/"Classic. Assembly has begun on this new CD/DAC, hope to get it by November. Once I have it and have lived with it a while, I'll start thinking about tubes. Any advice on cables for your Acute?

Sound great. The high fidelity stuff works for me. Please tell me how that acute 5 sounds when you get it.
