Unless the AC12 suddenly becomes �50 it's going to certainly limit their application. I would have thought that having options that lead to greater sales volume would be the way to go. Unless of course the price of the AC12 is set to compensate for those lost opportunities.

Shame....They sound like they might be a size that would work very well in a office/study connected to a PC/MAC via SPDIF.

We'd better wait until we see some facts. It's not unknown for early news to be incorrect (unless these have been seen/heard/touched already)
