Anyone hear Oritek Audio's new preamp/DAC?

I just got done listening to it at Ori's. It was much more transparent than my $3200, well-reviewed, preamp. I put a deposit down on one on the spot. I wasn't the only one impressed, either. Here is the clicker. The cost is under $1200. I will have to listen to mine at home, just to be sure, before I sell my other preamp, as I was pretty happy with my $3,200 preamp.

Would be nice to compare it to the Monarchy DAC/preamp...they are around the same price range, (the Monarchy can be bought new on Audiogon for around $1,050 I think).

It's mentioned on the Oritek Audio site, but just barely. You have to look for it. I believe that it is solid-state, and the DAC is similiar to the separate DAC that he sells. It has a remote, an Alps volume control, 2 digital and 2 analog inputs. I believe one of the key components of its sound is its simplicity. I've not heard the Monarchy, but at home I use the aforementioned preamp with an APL 3910. I'm looking forward to comparing them at home.
