Audio Research Corp Ref 5 SE

Just picked up news on another OP that ARC is upgrading the Ref 5 to an SE version that incorporates some of the technology from the Ref 40. The other OP posted the URL link below. Does anyone have any solid information anout this news development? Has anyone heard the Ref 5 SE? Same rumor about an SE version of the Ref Phono 2?

Maybe they are at the CES drooling over the new ARC REF DAC. I wish I had more time to enjoy my 5SE. I just got a shunyata anaconda cx for my 5SE.

Is that a Media Bridge or DAC?

Sfstereo,

Does the Shunyata Anaconda cord make a good difference on the Ref5 SE? Could you let us know what improvements you hear.

I have a REF 5SE on order for delivery end of Jan.
