Yeah, me too! 
I figured what the hell, it works out at about £500 so it's either going to be the best £500 quid I've spent in a while, or not! My Regen experience wasn't good - I still honestly have two minds about whether it was a belief product or not - but that said I do think Chris Connaker is at least somewhat critical in his reviews (Devialet didn't make it onto the CASH list!), so we'll see. Anyway, I've been banging on about the logic of the setup making sense to me, so its about time I put my money where my mouth is.
My main concern is, if I like it, I won't be able to use Room Correction until Roon integrate something that works with RAAT. Great timing as I just downloaded the release of Dirac 1.2, which allegedly fixes the output dropping issue on Macs, so I would finally be able to use it again (I've been really missing it lately).
FYI I'm ordering mine without power supply, and will start with the same ifi 9v they recommend as the 'starter' supply, but sourced locally. Fingers crossed the smaller box attracts less attention on the way into the UK…. Shame the cheap linear I bought is 5V, and the microRendu needs 6-9V, otherwise I would use that. It looks like there's going to be a few 'microRendu optimised' power supplies cloning out soon.
