Simaudio new P5.3 vs. old P5 preamp , Improvement?

Anyone know if the new Simaudio the new P5.3 sounds as good or better than the older P-5. The new unit costs way less and is in one chassis instead of two but is supposes to have the benefit of "trickle down technology" from the P-7. Any direct experience with the two units would be most appreciate

"The 5.3 is fully dual mono front to back, the P-5 wasn’t with only one transformer."

Incorrect. Don’t let the symmetrical layout fool you.

Per specs from the MOON P5.3 manual:

Power Supply Transformers ..................................... 1 x 10VA (for audio); 1 x 10VA (controller circuitry).
