Isn't it amazing that a DAC with that kind of performance costs only
$6.78, and you can't even buy a decent pair of interconnects from Radio
Shack for that price?

IN a lot of ways, yes!

But chip making is a simple, fairly automated process - and cable making
requires some hand assembly - so go figure! Labor is worth more than the
materials, eh?

And it's an apples and oranges comparison between the cost of a
component part and a finished retail product.

How many DAC chips do you have to buy to get that price?
