Any idea yet what the Pavane will cost?

From the full article linked below:
Pricing will ultimately land at €4095 (+ VAT) but an introductory price of €3695 (+ VAT) will hold until the end of January 2015.
That's about $4500 USD introductory price, then $4980. (Converting Euro to USD).
Who sells Metrum products in the USA?
They have sold out of their first batch of Pavane DACs and apparently have quite a few other pre orders. To get the discount, it is my understanding you have to go through the manufacturer and the wait will be a couple of months because they are waiting on another batch of chassis.
I hope we will soon see a print review describing how it sounds, not just the basic info that is already on the manufacturer's website. According to the manufacturer, "the Pavane is improving what was already available with the Hex. More depth and space, more refinement and will let you hear more details when present in the recording. Especially with high res material which will be limited now by available sampling rates as the Pavane can handle much higher sample rates than current standards."
It will be interesting to hear from some 3rd party reviewers how much improvement the Pavane provides over the Hex on standard fare such as ripped CDs.
Regardless, I am glad to see they are moving forward with an even higher level product.
