Looks great on paper. Other than the SACD / CD/ MQA CD disks spinning, what’s intriguing for me is its DAC, with a brand new chip I have never heard before. If it is really as good as some initial owners report, this would be a SOTA all-in device for both disk spinning and USB DAC streaming.

Perfectly understandable. I would use the dac in the CD as you say to stream and play CDs. Still, it must be a tiny remaining US market and it no doubt inflates the price pretty dramatically.

If Japan is a big CD player market, then it makes perfect sense.
For those a more attainable High End player I recently heard the Luxman D-03X for around $3300. Also does MQA-CD and streaming.

Totally different DAC chip (among other things)
