Said it will "LAUNCH AS a Drop exclusive" ... emphasis added ... which suggests it will be a regular iFi-Audio offering at some point.It's going to be an expensive option for UK/EU buyers with customs and excise taxes etc.

Why do you consider it to be pure marketing? wait first for it to be available and buy it later, and check for yourself if this was a good idea or just marketing .... but don't get aheadThat is marketing 101 right there lol!

They're catering to a particular market that is flooded with those particular headphones so users have a product specifically designed for those cans!

I read on Drop.com discussion and price of the unit is $250.Colour me interested! Best part is being a Drop exclusive the price should be fairly reasonable.
It's funny, I think it's convenient for it to just be an amplifier, since converting it to dac / amp would increase costs and could also harm the purpose it was intended for: making it sound good with the 600 series ... what I mean is that it is better to have a device dedicated to a single specific function, they work better since all efforts are dedicated to that objective: be it to amplify or convert, I do not want to open a thread, it is not necessary ...With out a build in dac this device is pretty expensiv compared to the zen dac/amp and you will not be able to find a optically suiting dac
