Sorry, I could find away to afford this, but the point of diminishing return would be passsed quite quickly with this type of investment. Not to mention, the way technology leaps forward in about a year everybody will be lamenting the once leading edge specifications that have now mostly been met by DAPS a 1/4 of the price. Can't see this being a good investment. I think we are programed to believe that the higher the price the better the sound, and to an extent that is often true, but consider these:
1) Small scale of economy = high R&D production costs that have to be recouped quickly
2) Small units offering full sized functionality = expensive to design and implement hence higher price simply for form factor issues
3) Small scale production run = higher per unit cost
Does exclusivity matter? I can't imagine anybody really caring that much, after all this isn't a collector item, it is a piece of audio kit that will seem like trailing edge in a few years time, and by then as owners try to sell them as exclusive items after they get used to the sound signature, potential buyers will have access to far less costly and equally performance capable units, that you can bet on. I know I have just described the fate of all good audio gear, but that much money for a portable device, easily lost, stolen or damaged? Just can't imagine it, but I guess if you have plenty of money you wouldn't really care would you?
