Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP pre-amp

Has anyone had experience with this pre-amp and any other components (CD, SACD, DAC) from this Norwegian company? They styling and build quality are reported to be first rate. How does this pre-amp sound? Thanks!

The two going on Audiogon for under 2k are an absolute bargain. Moving to SACD would be the only reason to change and that would be a big cash outlay for a top unit as I'm not willing to giveup what this cd player gives me.
