Alright, who wants to bite the bullet on this one?  Class A, only $47 with free shipping all the way from Greece.  Be sure to read the disclosure on the bottom.

I would be interested to see what is hidden in those TRS plugs, but from the sound of that disclaimer publishing a schematic on a public forum would be going against the seller's wishes

I'm sure it sucks, and is a marketing gimmick.
 
Definitely some sort of an opamp with fixed gain built in.  No capacitors, so power will fluctuate depending on load.  Probably a rail splitter, with the opamp.  It's probably something like the TDA7233, which has a fixed gain of 39dB, but something more headphone friendly.
 
bleh, pass, it sucks, no need to even bother discussing it.

Absolutely never!

Somehow I remember seeing something like this years ago.  Could be from Popular Mechanics/Science adds and this guy bought the plans.  Come on people, someone's cat has to killed for my curiosity.

This is the same dude who tried to sell a tube version of the same scam a while back:

At least his prices have come down.

Gotta admit, he is persistent. Wonder how many he has sold. Looking at his other items for sale, my main question is, who buys a picture of feet for $47USD???

Ha ha, looks like the same guy alright.
