NAD M10 Streaming Integrated

I'm looking for an integrated streaming amp for my office system, and this amp has really caught my eye.  
Planning to mostly stream TIDAL through it but might add a TT or CD at some point.  
Speakers will probably be Tannoy Heritage Eatons, which are very efficient.  The Eatons play very well at low levels so they appeal to me in an office atmosphere.  Was considering a Blue Sound amp but would prefer something a bit higher end with more features.  
I love that the M10 amp includes room correction and is also loaded with other features for only $2749.  
A very nice review of this amp is in this month's Absolute Sound, but I'm looking for opinions from regular folks.  
Please let me know if you have heard this amp and what your impressions are.  Thanks!

I ended up buying the M10 and just got it set up this week.
It's mind blowingly good!  Right now it's only hooked up to a pair of $300 PSB bookshelf speakers but it sounds amazing.  I'm gonna try it with some other speakers as well for comparison. 

I needed something small that sounds great and this amp fits the bill.  I don't need it to play DSD files so no biggie there.  I found this amp on ebay for about $2100, and have not seen a better price.  Sold by a U.S. dealer with warranty so I felt OK going this route.  

Anyone know what the small USB key is for?  The manual makes no mention of it.  

Thanks

The USB key holds the manual.  I have my M10 hooked up to KEF LS50s in my full time home office.  I like it but use Roon unless I’m listening to Radio Paradise, then using BlueOS.

Good sound, compact, and can use any existing remote.  I programmed the M10 to use an Apple remote and it works well.

Snackep no US dealer will sell the M10 at that price other than a repack or refurbed unit, NAD does not allow new products to be sold on Ebay, so you may want to check with NAD and really find out what you bought.

NAD has a suggested MAP price and no dealer will cross that for a new product because you will have your franchise revoked.

It was brand new, factory sealed.  Guess I got a great deal.  I see they no longer have any of these.

I have since sold my M10, but I had also bought it from a US Dealer at the same price.  Factory sealed, early May of this year.
