Astell&Kern makes the AK Jr player for $499.
JH Audio just released the $899 Rosie, which I'm pretty sure (early on) I prefer to my $1099 JH13 Pro.
Of course, there are many other companies making digital audio players and in-ear headphones, but since these are the two companies we're mostly talking about in this thread, I think they're already doing what you're asking. (No, I'm not suggesting that $499 and $899 are affordable for everyone.)
I drive an old Honda Fit. Its paid for, and it suits my needs. For what I paid for it, I didn't get high performance or luxurious features (or even Bluetooth). If I want more from a car than I'm getting from my Fit, I fully expect (and know) I'll probably have to pay more.
i knew this would be the reply
anyway I tried to deliver a message through you, but again sooner or later things will change once bigger companies will jump in, and maybe there will a shift from even phone companies to start thinking about making their phones audiophile as a standard, look at lg v10 which is a dam amazing phone/dap now, To be honest the lg v10 is a big competitor to high end daps, and I am talking high end ones. I own it and I own the ak100ii, chord mojo, and i owned chord hugo, and many other things. LG can easily satisfy so many head-fiers and its an all in one device
anyhow we all love this forum, as I myself own few of the expensive gears mentioned here on the forums, am I sad that I paid so much for them no, I am happy to own them
but I wish that one day iems like angie or other iems would be offered at 300 USD
anyhow thanks Jude for at least reading my post
