As long as it has a hot enough output to drive a power amp as a stand alone preamp, I'd have no qualms about coughing up $350 (of course less expensive is better) for it. I find myself using a SABDDI instead of an amp quite a bit these days. Getting the thunderfunk sound into the same size package would make me ecstatic.

Can't wait. I was able to test drive one a couple of weeks ago. (Thanks McRelly) What can I say, after the test I sold my Eden WT550.
