Have you seen it or just judging by the photos?This thing for real? Overall design screams it's a $45 knockoff chinese product (even that's an understatement) - for starters the shape of that volume knob... like seriously?? looks downright dreadful - also the colour on that volume knob needs to be matte black/silver - that gold colour had to be one of the worst options.. Also that logo thing on the top needs to be removed completely. These are just the most obvious flaws - not even going to mention the font for that "listening m1" inscription and the overall look of that gain knob. You can't seriously put out a design like this and then put 2.5k msrp on it
1. I respect your point but a housing design is a very subjective thing, even someone can hate Apple's design as well. In my experience, the machining quality is on the level of an Apple product (Taking that I own 3 Apple products right now). The volume knob is not new. Dethonray used the same knob design as the previous product Pegasus SG1.

Check the video for volume knob design emphasis (I've timestamped at the exact point)
For the colour scheme. It comes in different colours but we got the silver one.
2. Finally, how does the look of a housing matter in an audiophile product? The value should depend on how it sounds and it sounds incredible.
