I have contacted Cattylink Research in China and they are offering a price of $625 USD (+ shipping within Canada) on this amazing player.
Impressions and comparisons rank this unit above several $1k players, and it uses key components like the DAC, clock, and class-A output stage similar to those only found in units from the likes of Gryphon, and Mark Levinson.
