Whatever the actual case, I'm going to enjoy imagining that the reason they're on sale is because of some hungover Chinese silkscreener running off a thousand pairs with "Hammcher (sic) Schle". Would make the Head-F1 debacle seem a mere hiccup.
Oh ye of little faith!
I still think the category they're trying to define is interesting. Instead of a player that just happens to have digital inputs, it's a DAC that just happens to include a transport. Huge difference, see?
Billy Bragg -- "Tank Park Salute"
I hate this song because it makes me cry every single fucking time thinking about my own Dad. Stupid ginger bastard.

Sorry for the unfortunate juxtaposition, but today I bought my son his first proper (pedal) bike. We rode around the block a few times together. He was well chuffed.
So, purely hypothetical question, but if I had a mono FLAC file and converted it to ALAC and it shows up as stereo in iTunes, did I screw a pooch? Again, you know, just apropos of nothing.
