Have any TAS writers other than JH heard the Playback Designs CD player?

JH wrote an excellent review of this player a few months ago.  Obviously, it is worth an audition.
 
But have any other TAS writers heard this player?  Please don't be shy.  This thing costs A LOT  of $$,$$$, so please share your thoughts.

Michael Fremer of Stereophile also raved about it.

Thanks, JLeeMD. I have read that review. Interestingly, reading the "Measurements" section, Atkinson would not recommend it because it does not measure well - despite sounding great.

This is definitely worth an audition. However, with this supposedly being one of the top 5 players, I am surprised no one at TAS has responded yet.

If you read the Manufacturer's Reply, they very diplomatically state that what Mr. Atkinson was measuring was irrelevant.
