EAR Acute Classic - has anyone heard or tried it


EAR just released a new cd/dac single unit: the EAR Acute Classic  http://www.earyoshino.com/Acute-CD-Player/

Has anyone heard it or tried it?  I previously had the EAR Acute 3 but sold it a few months ago.  I really loved it but thought the DAC portion could have been better, but it was a little dated (came out about 5 years ago).  I'm really interested in this unit and would appreciate if anyone can offer any feedback on it.  I don't have a local dealer near me so am reaching out to others who may have more experience with it.

Hi fischer3966

I'm in the UK and the nearest EAR dealer is a long way from me. I would be most grateful for any feedback and if they have previous experience of the Acute 3 that would be even better. I am seriously thinking of the new Classic so we shall see what the opinion is.
I have looked everywhere for any reviews or user feedback on this cd player and as yet not found anything. I use an EAR Acute 3 cd player through an EAR 868 and 890 and it is simply stunning. However, I feel TDP has really gone to town and come up with 2 new cracking digital source products. So, I would be grateful if anybody can provide any user feedback on either of these.
