Thanks Ian! Will be interesting to see the temp Delta via the GUI when available compared to "all" expert series and if it manifests as cooler with the added power. I don't personally appreciate the copper color tho find it far from 'garish'... simply inappropriate and/or out of place for high-end audio componentry. Of course my tastes run identically for chrome plating as well, ie; just can't like it. Copper is and does strike me as "FCK" decor. Not the euphemism you probably think I mean... just "French Country Kitchen" as that's the ONLY room in the home I'm even remotely accustomed to seeing that much copper color en masse.
I'm also curious about their claim of "much more" thermal transfer pad being used in the limited edition. Especially after my conversion to an even more expensive/efficient thermal pad than Devialet uses. Then finding that I could get cooler temps by going back inside and reducing the amount of the fretfully expensive transfer pad I originally used even after blocking both inlets/outlets of the convection cooling provisions I added. Too much of it seemed to act as a retardant with relation to dissipation.
Good to get this first eyes/ears-on report 1st-hand and eagerly anticipating the analog, digital & supply temps when someone here takes possession.
