Oh, here we go again. The ol’ haphazard accusation of an overpriced audio component based on component parts thing. Ok, I’ll bite. (BTW, are you buddies with kenjit by any chance?).
@sfseay — overpriced compared to what? You’d say the same thing if you tore apart a Lumin or likely anything else. Yes, there is a markup required for these companies to cover their development, materials, labor, overhead, etc. costs and make some profit doing it so they can stay in business. Welcome to the real world. The market decides what’s overpriced, not you. And if you’re right, which I highly doubt, Innuos will go out of business due to competition that sounds better for less. Of course, you’re perfectly free to go buy the parts yourself and try to build something that sounds as good as the Zen Mk3. Good luck with that.
