Anyone heard the Unison Unico Due cdp ?

Having made up my mind to purchase a SimAudio Neo 260D transport and Shiit Yggy, a friend has told me that the most recent local audio club meeting featured a demo of this Unico player. Apparently, all in attendance were floored by its musicality.  No-one wanted to talk gear-- they just wanted to listen. I'd intended to get away from tubes (having replaced my Jolida tubed integrated with a ss Wells Audio Majestic, which has proven to be a terrific choice). However, my friend's enthusiasm for the Italian cdp/dac/streamer is forcing me to reconsider. . . Anyone out there have any experience with this piece?

Thanks for the comments. Turns out, I'll be able to demo it in my system, next week. Needless to say, I'm very much looking forward to hearing it!

Yes that is the new version i would expect the same results.

The original CDE was a giant slayer the newer unit is going to be even better.

We are going back to the new Unico gear in 2018.

I'd really rather not deal with tubes and I don't need a streamer, so I'm going to try something else, alos from Europe (Netherlands): Metrum Pavane. Currently discounted to $3700 and very well reviewed. Sup-posedly more analog-sounding than Yggdrasil and I don't have to pay a restock fee should I not keep it!
