New Bluetooth Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC III W

My audio guy is ordering this http://www.jolida.com/product/glass-fx-tube-dac-iii-w for his fix-it guy tomorrow and I’m thinking about getting one. It’s so new that I’m not having luck finding reviews but I love that it has Bluetooth so I don’t have to run a cable from my iMac across a doorway (though there is a metal trim transition strip that wouldn’t make it stick out so much…I don’t think I can hide it underneath). My amp is a Cary SLI 80 Signature with KT 120s if that matters. Any opinions on this model or other suggestions?

I have a fusion pre/dac that I purchased from morrow in may. For the money I think its a great all in one solution. Although I do not use the blue tooth capabilities my wife does and loves the ease if it. I purchased it because I had to simplify my system due to a move in a smaller house. Originally in had planned to get a BMC PureDac but Mike talked me in to the Jolida for less money.

Previously I had an Exemplar xd1 along with a TAD 150 tube PRE. I also tried an NAD M51. I feel the Jolida more than competes with my DAC and separate preamp and is as good as the NAD albeit a bit warmer (I found the NAD to be a tad bright). Detail freaks might shy away from this preamp but I love the warm musical presentation.

The rest of my system is a class d audio SDS 470c, soindfield audio m1, morrow sp4 speaoer cables and morrow interconnects power cord is pangea and tubes are tungsol.
