I just got the email announcing the new Stellar Strata Mk2, in which email Darren is mentioned as having designed (at least) the power amp portion of the unit. Is this the realization of his swan song effort before he left?

My understanding is that Darren contributed to several ‘future’ products before he left PSA. And those contributions are well worth quoting in current announcements when the products are finally released.
