I helped them build this unit and i'll give you the info on what makes it better then a stock VortexBox that I sell - Custom aluminium case. You really need to see it to appreciate how beautiful it is and and how well it works. The CD slot is hidden in the border. Very "Apple like" - Custom low noise power supply - SOtM USB card. As may of you already know this is the best USB card in the industry. Precision oscillators, super low noise power supplies etc. - Extensive dealer network. You can go a listen to this box before buying it. Remember as will all high end audio dealers take a cut to demo an support a product. - Marketing, The above poster is correct. I'm sure they spend money (as most companies do) on promoting their products. Does all this make it worth the extra cost? The customers that have purchased one from me tell me yes. They tell me the get the best sound out of their high end DACs with the SOtM. The customers that purchase this unit has all spent over $1000 just on their DAC and are using it to feed a high end system. There are may different VortexBox appliance units at different price ranges. It depends on what your looking for. rip, tag, get cover art All you do is insert the CD! http://vortexbox.org agillis Lead Developer VortexBox ------------------------------------------------------------------------ agillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21140 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102119
