At least the M11 Pro has a THX module, which kinda is an Quality Assurance System in a way, as the name has long history in movie production, (yes I know Razer owns them now, but thats beside the point) what "Pro" is in this?

Ha! I was looking into getting ( yet ) another DAP for gym/mobile use and passed on the M6 and was leaning towards the Cowon Plenue R2 which had more power. This changes everything for my decision---
Any idea of the price in USD? M6 is roughly $ 499---will the Pro be $ 599 or thereabouts?
