Eastsound E5

I have done something that I don't normally do. I just ordered the newest version of the Eastsound E5 CDP from Cattylink.com (based in Hong Kong?) without being able to return it if I don't like the sound. The Eastsound Minimax has gotten some really great feedback on internet forums and press, but the E5 is supposed to be their best player. I know one who actually own one (Maxxc) and he thinks it's the best CDP he's ever used. And only for under $800 from Cattylink and they throw in a high grade PC for free that mates well with the CDP. According to Maxx, there is a Canadian dealer who put it up against his $9000 CDP and found the E5 better in overall sound. Any other who has heard or actually own one? Sometimes some of these Chinese gear are just too good to pass up.

Jump over to Head-Fi dot org. They have a few threads discussing that CDP. Nothing but superlatives describing it save one or two owners that had to send it back due to tracking problems.

There was a recent Canadian Group buy on it and I think someone in the US is also trying to get a Group buy on it as well.
