It seems an incredibly expensive usb soundcard, which moreover does only output and not input. Its claim to do better than the onboard sound card is setting an absurdly low standard, since many onboard soundcards are simply attrocious. And the price of it I saw in an airline SkyMall booklet yesterday is pretty steep ( $250 or so). Certainly the company's claims for their speaker cables are pure gobbldygook, and makes me want to lump them in with other companies as sellers of hype rather than product.
