Indeed, plus it's my favorite color

I did get in touch with HRT's US distributor.  Elite AV at 323-466-9694  I talked to a nice guy named Scott.  They will sell a new unit sealed with one year warranty for $350.  He says that HRT is still in business but they had a setback when their lead guy was involved in a motorcycle crash.  My guess is the only support I would see is if I bought a new one for $350

Hmm depending on what you are going to use to power and stream to it with the USB might be weird. I have the small Dragonfly Black using it at the office and OTG with my phone. If you use Apple it's fine since they included all useful Audio Drivers but Android doesn't. So I can only use up to 80% volume when I listen to Spotify and all the other normal apps. But Audioquest links to "USB Audio Player PRO" and the app comes with all Audio Drivers which allowed me to access the Volume on the Dragonfly.

I scored a Black V1.2 from nopants...  I'm psyched to listen to some led zep in 96/24!

if you want a marked improvement try to dig up a fancy-schmancy usb power supply like that ifi stuff

Yes, I hear that one from Germany is the way to go
