Not wanting to devalue the item on sale, what exactly are the differences between the original and SE versions (apart from the knob)? I'm amazed that Logitech is still selling the newer version - even discounting the price. They must have made a lot of them!

Just a heads-up that the AVI DM10 will be available soon. As for me, I'm happy with my DM5s, and I could never afford the DM10 at current (yen) exchange rates anyway :-( snoogly's Profile:

Thanks for your insight Mnyb. It does seem AVI is winding down, with 500-ish of the new DM10 to be built. After that ? But I do agree with you ~ their marketing and general web presence isn't very slick, and often downright confusing. Odroid Lms / Raspberry pi Picoreplayer / AVI speakers
