    well here, its around 400k but you just sign a 2-year lease and write it off as a business expense. you could be down to net cost 5k/month + gas and insurance

    it is a niche market. there are also too many headphone amp companies now, because it costs little to start making them and doesn't require too much skill. it would be very hard to exceed $250k/year revenue per model for a >$500 headphone amp product. i think STAX revenue is only a few million $ per year? considering Beats has a 70% marketshare of the >$100 headphones, giving STAX a tiny fraction of a percent is about right this is all fine for a 1 man show to make a bunch of money, but dont expect to see headphone amp companies with corporate HQs with a receptionist and a marketing team and an engineering team anytime soon. though i would bet on Schiit being the first, their $99/each stack has gone well beyond Head-Fi by now

    one could do the math, its not that hard. say a portable amp is new/"hot" and sells 500 units in the first year (for the entire world!), costs $100 to build and sells for $500. that is $200,000 profit on just 1 model. usually, this is where people could come in and say "The R&D cost!" generally these amps are the same basic circuit re-hashed in a new size or input/output feature set. tooling/prototyping costs may run 5k.

    they're both exclusively marketed by The Cable Company, i dont think 'synergy' has much to do with it

    but typically those publications act as if gold-plated Beats are the only expensive headphones you can buy. this is a huge step forward.
