While I have tinkered with high-bit rate audio files I would never have thought that I would see a product like this from the firm marketing it: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...552921666598677

What the heck is that thing? Why does it a stereo 40W/amp? Do they really thing this is any kind of companion to their true high-end speakers??? http://discover.store.sony.com/ES/ar-speakers/
