Well, I guess it's time for me to be "that guy."

Has anyone actually played with this thing?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

I'll talk to Scott Walker and see if he's willing to lend one to me to bring to the San Diego meet.

Cable company, developing their cable thingies into a whole ecosystem. Self-referential proof. Nope, I'm still not compromising.

All sorts of things could be in there. Resistors, itty-bitty transformers, ferrites, and other fancy looking stuff. Based on what they're saying, I'm guessing that it's transformers.

So, folks, go get yourself a shmancy OTL tube amp and plug this badboy into it and totally undo the whole idea behind the OTL circuit.

No, Scott Walker the audio dealer in Anaheim.  He carries Synergistic, and he's a good guy.  I've bought stuff from him in the past, and he's been very generous with his time, even though he knows he's never going to be selling me a pair of Magico Q7s.

The manufacturers are just asking for Paris Hilton to advertise their audio dongle...

I found their circuit diagram.  Apparently it took them almost a year to develop this as well?
