Esoteric DV-60

Anyone heard this unit yet? As many of you know, it is replacing the DV-50S and I'm looking for noticeable difference in audio/video quality as well as functionality. I know on paper the changes that have been made, but is the upgrade worth it from a user's perspective. Thanks for your opinions and experiences. Dave.

I listened to a DV60 today, compared it to a Marantz Sa11S1 and an older DV50. The DV60 was superior in all areas to both of the other players...and by a very wide margin! Here’s the thing of it, it clearly states in the instructions to turn off the multi channel output of the DV60 in order to gain maximum sound. I noticed that when one failed to do this, the DV60 was not as resolving and clearly less powerful in the bass and the upper most highs. Turned off, the SQ was stunning and easily some of the best sound I have heard from DSD and Redbook.

Mods of the Esoteric DV-50S have mentioned in this thread. Can anyone who has had his or her DV-50S modified provide info on who did the work, and perhaps what the mod consisted of?
