An instrument sample sent to Dave for a review / tear-down would come in handy to promote those new lines.
Recently the Siglent SSA3032X appeared as "available ready to ship" from Batronix (Germany), so they actually exist ....
The worry is; how many other accessories will I need as well?

Recently the Siglent SSA3032X appeared as "available ready to ship" from Batronix (Germany), so they actually exist ....You bet they do. I do know they've had to do some tweaks but AFAIK they're nearly finished those and I'll probably get a demo unit in my next shipment. The worry is; how many other accessories will I need as well?
There will be at least one review coming that I know of but I am guessing it will be in May at the earliest.
Please consider sending one to the Signal Path as previously mentioned as Shahriar is one of the few reviewers who will really "test" the machine and not just show us some signals.

I second this because a spectrum analyser isn't easy to test properly! But I'm afraid it won't happen because the firmware likely takes at least two years to get to a useful state as we have seen with all previous Siglent equipment.
But I'm not sure I want to be the first to try the waters on this one.
Our introduction has been rather slow. We made some improvements to the TG flatness which has slowed it down.
Has anyone tried calling Siglent or a rep?
Has anyone tried calling Siglent or a rep? I have to order a SA next week and would like to get any information I can. It will be purchasing by a customer and only be used by me for a specific job but I may end up with it. I did another job in which I had to purchased the DSA815 for a customer and it worked okay but I would like to try the Siglent this time if I can get any positive feedback.
Lets keep this post going as I think a lot of people may be interested in what is intended to be a very competitive piece of equipment.
i hope, rigol will respond to the new market situation with a free "bandwith upgrade" via firmware for DSA815...

Is there any way to see if the SA has the improved TG or not? Model number? Serial number?
I spoke with one of Siglent's local US distributors today and I was told that he has yet to sell a single unit. Lead time is ~ 1 week so they do sound available. I told him I was concerned about a new design and no return policy and nothing was offering to settle this concern. He even recommended I stay with Rigol (having used them in the past). I think if Siglent is going to make any serious headway into this market, they should either get some serious unbiased reviews out there or offer a fair or at least comparable return policy to that of Rigol. I would still consider trying it but without a return path, I wont be the first to purchase one based solely on speculation. If Siglent is interested in having a first EEVblog review and is willing to cut me some return slack, let me know.
