It's listed as $2,399(!) and is apparently the PS used (a pre production version anyway) in Chris Connaker's review (he didn't mention the total cost of the source he reviewed was therefore $3,048 and not $649, but anyway)....

Actually, it doesn't state if there's a 240V version, and the question was asked and unanswered in the comments. Way out of my league anyway, and I've also got an aversion to a big unit as PS. I'd take something in a nice case like a small Aurender if it was big enough to need to be 'on display', otherwise I'd really prefer to find something I can just shove out of the way and hide it.
It would be helpful if they included costs with all their recommended supplies, as it seems like there's quite a range, and also ideally someone actually give some indication of the relative performance.... I guess this will all unfold over the coming weeks...
Ouch! That was naughty of Chris not to disclose... Perhaps that will come in part 2?
Interesting though, we are now in the same price bracket as a high end Aurender or Melco. Can't wait for the comparisons and shoot outs to begin.
