Cayin CD50-T Anybody audition or own this?

I see that Cayin has introduced a new hybrid tube cd player. Has anybody auditioned or own one of these? What are your thoughts on its construction and sound?

Thanks
Vlad.

Now I'm really interested in rolling some tubes for this CDP. Does anyone know where I can get some AWV 12au7 tubes, they seem to be rare? Are the ECC82 compatible?

same question for me. Have been sesearching on line for a while, but still no clues for the AWV 12au7a tubes

Fdhfdy: I found the tube on Ebay from an Aussie seller. It was relatively cheap too. I posted my findings in this thread.... http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1207945057&openusid&zzMikeyc8&4&5#Mikeyc8

Bottom line - its now more dynamic, better soundstage, bass response, everything is better. Its an easy and cheap upgrade for this CDP.
