Wtf? How does being made in South Korea justify the price? South Korea and Japan may be alright in consumer electronics (China's not bad either) but China's only more advanced when it comes to cutting edge tech. Look up what Baidu and Huawei are doing in artificial intelligence, not to mention all the quantum stuff & other bleeding edge tech China's doing. Other than the Dac nothing else justifies the price over the competition, camera isn't better than the competition nor is the single speaker (it's loud but quality certainly isn't the best), extra button on the side (really?) isn't valid, just a Dac isn't enough.
