Has anybody heard the Shanling CD player?

The pictures of the Shanling look very cool but has anyone heard this player and compared with some of the top players out there?

I have a Sonic Frontiers SFT1 and SFD2Mk11 DAC which was near state of the art 5 years ago and built like a tank. Have thought of selling to upgrade to new technology but could possibly take a step back if I do not choose wisely. It seems that the EMC, Mephisto, or Capitol may be the better options for me.

But not worth $2000. Rather, I would have a EMC with an addition of a few hundred dollars.

Opinions were a mixed bag with some people loving it while others completely dismissed the sonics. Obviously, the less than stellar acoustics, the selection of support components and the music selected can make judging something like this quite difficult under those circumstances. I do have to admit that it is one of the nicest looking pieces i have ever seen. Kind of a cool combo of "space age" and "retro" all in one : ) Sean >
