360 Eur (399$) on Amazon.com vs 579 Eur on Amazon.de.   What's that all about?

It's in stock on amazon de via a 3rd party seller. 279 eur - same price I paid.   Last night using my better than average JBL Synchros 200i IEMs I fell asleep listening to Bonobo with volume on 2/100. Sound was so good even at that level.   I love this machine.
