Consonance / Opera Audio CD120 with tubes?? Help

I have an opportunity to buy a Consonance CD120 with tubed output stage. I can find literature about the CD120 Linear, which is completely solid-state, but can't find any info on the tubed version. It is Chinese made, but I have read good things about other Consonance/Opera Audio CD players & DACs. Any help? Thanks.

Check to see if it is the 2.2 Linear with the tube output. I don't believe that a CD120 Linear with tube output was ever made.

That's the crazy thing: on the front of the unit it reads "CD120 Tube Output CD Player", which is repeated on the back panel. It has tube vent holes on the top of the unit, and has true balanced and RCA outputs. I can't find anything online about it. Maybe a prototype for the 2.2 Reference??

Ask Trelja for the best answer.
The Agon partner "Quest for Sound" carries Consonance Stephen Monte is the prop..
Also search "Opera-audio as in Opera/Consonance the Chinese site translated for Great Britian should be out in the ether.
