Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Strata, Integrated Amp/DAC/streamer?


PS audio, is introducing an integrated amp with a DAC that looks interesting.
It can also stream from most popular services.
It is said to output 200 wpc at 4 ohms.
Does anyone have any experience with it yet?
I've had separates for years now, but this looking pretty impressive, if it has the headroom for my Maggie 1.6's.

Just picked up my Stellar Strata yesterday and working on burning it in.  Will be demoing it vs the Peachtree Nova300 and NAD M10.  

The setup on the Strata is almost comically clunky.  Two buttons that you have to click, double click, long click (think setting a 90's alarm clock), but that's only a 1-time deal.  The PS Audio Connect app is actually pretty decent.  So far it seems like the Strata has a few bugs here and there, but the sound (even pre-burn in) has been really good - a bit warmer and fuller than the Peachtree.

Also, I realize this may be outdated thinking, but I appreciate the fact that the Strata has some weight to it (maybe not McIntosh heavy, but ~30lbs).  The M10 feels like it'd blow away in a strong breeze.
