er.. yes it is now $450 (will be increased to $ 529 in one week), but still...
I certainly know that using separate analog electrical components (resistors, transistors, diodes etc.) rather than chips to amplify the audio signal is a different thing, but I don't think this is worth more than 4 times the price excluding shipping , especially because this mod is being performed at the output stage only. I don't think it's fair to resell this item with such an high markup. Take a look at the modding module and the other Oritek mods on the Zhaolu, IMHO they speak for themselves...
Besides, how dares he to rebrand the Zhaolu as "Oritek Audio" with such small and cheap mods?
If I were Mr. Zhaolu, I would get p...... off.
