Do I understand correctly that the display shows volume attenuation level?

I got to question, just like the Dave, what's inside to be worth $13,000+ for such a small box.

 

Clearly they aren't using large high quality transformers, which is always one of the biggest & legitimate cost factors in any high end hifi equipment.

 

 

 

 

I agree that the price is disappointing, especially seeing that the same DAC with world class analog linestage is only appx. $5000 more...plus it doesn't even include a remote.  I was originally hoping for something that would hit around the $7500 mark, then heard $10K and now we've surpassed that.  No doubt all these products do have real cost in parts/R&D etc, but at some point I believe they are merely priced with a pen in order to appear legitimate in the marketplace.

I apologize for stating that no remote was included.  I thought I read this somewhere else in this thread but stand corrected.
