Bart - you are far too kind. The front and rear are good, but the sides look....... well, "not quite right", shall we say. Wonder if this might not be the final iteration? Was not on their website as of yesterday. Plus, it needs a volume knob.

No volume knob, I believe it will be all controlled by app or remote. We saw this in progress when a group of us visited Boulder during RMAF. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I’ll say it does look better in person. If I recall, the design of the cooling fins promotes upward air movement through them (don’t ask me how).

It looks incredibly odd to me too.

Hopefully, the digital data display will not be so small that one needs reading glasses to decipher. Another huge pita for us 'older folks'.

Yes, I had the same experience when I was using my Linn Klimax as a preamp. Wasn’t bad when playing digital, but when I changed to vinyl it was a nuisance.

I like Boulder gear but I would have to see this one in the flesh. I'm not sold on the industrial design from the photos.

Looks good. I want to see it in black.

Boulder only does black as a custom order for a significant upcharge. They do all their own machining of the billet aluminum in house, and black requires sending it out to be anodized. They discourage it.
