Anybody heard the new Audiolab 9000CDT yet?

The new 9000CDT looks very nice, though it is priced about $900 more than the 6000CDT.  There is a YouTube video that shows the insides of the unit.

Aside from the heavy aluminum chassis, the drive is a standard Teac 5020, which is good, but nothing outstanding compared with the CD Pro-8 used in the Project RS2 T transport.  The transformer inside looks about the same as the 6000CDT. The 9000CDT still has just 3 voltage regulators with heat sinks, and the board more or less looks like the 6000CDT, but more spread out.  Aside from the weight, heft, and the very nice large color display, I am not seeing too much for the extra $900 that appears to be any really significant upgrade inside.  Lets hope that the actual sonic performance justifies the extra $900.  As an alternate, Schiit audio is soon coming out with a drawer CD transport around the same price range that might be an even better sounding unit.

As a followup, what were your sonic impressions of the 6000CDT, and what did you compare it to for reference?

I have two systems in my house, both have the 6000CDT on them. The key is the DAC. I have a Saturn audio DAC on the main system, and moved the Aqua La-Voce S3 to the basement. Both dacs are in the $4000.00 range. 

My third system out in the garage, i had a Nad CD player out there with an IFI Neo DAC, $1100.00 DAC. When the CD player died my audio dealer told me to buy a good used dvd player. I found a Philips online for $10.00 brand new. Hooked it up, and it sounds as good or better than the NAD did. So the DAC is the key component in my opinion.

I have owned very expensive CD players & transports. The 6000 is tremendous WHEN you compliment it with excellent PC and Coax. I am using Odin 2 coax and Odin 2 Gold PC and quality iso devices all from Ali express

The Schiit Transport has been rumored for a few years now, is there actual official word on it's arrival fastcat95 ?
