Nice high-perspective three-quarter view. The case is all machined from solid billet aluminum; looks lovely and keep out RF and EMI...

Back panel view. I've highlighted in red the chassis ground terminal, which would allow for optimal connection to an Altaira ground-plane noise reduction hub, and we already know what that does for a component...:D

Looks really nice and I'm sure will be a very nice addition for folks, and especially so for X1, P1, and T3 owners, as the L2 can connect directly to these via fiber.

*-whomever did the product shots is also really good, not even a hint of color contamination for any channel in the photos. :thumbsup:

I'll be getting one of these, for sure....:banana:
