A lot of user comments in the website of the Hong Kong official dealer :

Thanks, CK. I'm aware of the Audio Exotics forum but that is a commercial forum. Independent impressions from listeners that have no commercial interests would be much better.
Is there a unit with your dealer? If so, please take a listen and your impression would be appreciated. I heard the K15 could be the ultimate preamp.
As I am extremely busy with my work and life so I will write a proper review about the K15 when I have some free time for this. Today, I am lucky enough to have the K15 here and it will be here with me...forever if the dealer gives me that privilege lol.
First impression, very very beautiful, if you put the k10 and k15 next to each other, the k15 is clearly the winner. They are quite equally heavy although I am told that the k15 has bigger transformer etc. The most important point to me is the k15 has dual balanced outputs whilst the k10 has only 1 balanced in and out.
Sound, the Koda's sound as you can immediately tell from the k15. However, there are differences between those siblings. Some pics I took today with my ip4 camera

this k15 is quite brand new and about 20h of burning in as the dealer told me, so I will have to wait until it reaches at least 100-200h to make any proper statement about this incredible box. Robert has done a fantastic job here.
when hiding the k15, the k10 comes back to its beauty so its not too bad for k10 owner. Please beware that the k10 is also superb fantastic and very very few preamps out there can compare with. So if you cannot upgrade from the k10 to k15 now, you will be happy forever with the k10 until your finance allows you to move up. just my 2 cents.
