It's a good question. I wondered it myself at first. The easy answer is that some people really don't want all the extra cost and size for the input switching and connectors; they just want a very good sounding amp in a small footprint box. But it's not a very satisfying answer. They just seem so small to be so expensive. But then you look at the cost of 627s, film caps, and metal fim resistors, and all you can do is sigh. I can tell you our margins are essentially identical on the Desktops, Micro Amps, and Micro DACs.
Actually I was going the other way, I am trying to convince my self to get a desktop with max amp and max dac w/ the step vol pot.
