Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Yes, imagine the price if they had to design the DAC inside the fancy box

:)
Spline filtering and PCM1704, CH Precision must be Wadia fans. Back then, probably, no one thought you could make a discrete R-2R but that is not the case these days so you need a really good story to differentiate yourself from all the other commercial DAC-chip-in-box companies. Sounds like they should work more on that story.

I don't know the market price of new-old-stock PCM1704 chips but if that is $100 each and they are using four then that's adding ~ $1600 to the retail price.
