Class-D Audio USA have just released their new GaN amp at the CES

Class-D Audio USA have finally shown their GaN based Class-D at the CES, anyone see/hear it?
It should be well priced.
Wonder if they went the extra yards/cost for the higher 1.5mhz switching frequency, like the mighty Technics SE-R1.

Hi George,
Yes, our new GaN amp was just at the CES show a few weeks ago, and was a big success. If you email me tomorrow and remind me, I can provide more information... I’ll try to remember to email when I get to work, but sometimes I get pulled many directions when I get there.

Here is what Paul from ClassDaudio / Premium Audio sent me to put up. 
 
Hi George,
It's looking like it will be one to two months. We upgraded the RCA and XLR jacks and also added some more protection circuitry. Now we have to wait for new PBC's to get here and also for cases to be finished. The case work takes some time. if you can let everyone know, that would be great!
Thanks, Tom
Cheers George

Rick Becker, of Enjoythemusic.com just posted a review of the Audion GaNTube Monoblocks and liked them so much he bought the review pair.  Interesting read.

15k? Is it too much to ask the power cord should be away from the switch for that price?

Well they are compact for 100w/ch, shiny and kinda look like a tube amp. That will probably help convert some tube amp owners that might not otherwise.

I’m sure they sound very good.
