It would be nice to know if it uses the current top line ESS Sabre chips.
I have a feeling it probably doesn't because the 519 was first displayed back in January, 2016, before the latest ESS chips were released.
I read that the 2017 MSRP was amended to 20K, if I'm not mistaken. 17K was originally suggested back in 2016...

Christian.......Yes, the price may have been bumped to $20K. You're probably right about the ESS DAC, too. It is most likely the ESS ES9018 SABRE32 Reference 32-bit 8-Channel Audio DAC.
