Traal is a planet whose jungle swamps are home to the infamous Ravenous Bugblatter Beast, and because of its inclusion in the Guide, an infamous court case about the literal interpretation of the entry came about because it said "Beasts often make a very good meal for visiting tourists" rather than "beasts often make a very good meal of visiting tourists". Luckily, protection from the Beast can be attained by wrapping a towel around one's eyes, thanks to the fact that it is "so mind-boggling stupid it believes that if you can't see it, it can't see you". The planet has only one surviving oral hygenist.
I'm also guessing this is a headphone amp, and the ASP selection has to do with some sort of spatial processing (possibly an iteration of, or a significant Meridian improvement to Dolby Headphone).

I'm still thinking that it's a microphone amp. Having seen the recording industry all but give up on Ambisonics, M will be encouraging us to record our lives in that blessed format. It'll be like YouTube, but for audio, and in pure, spatially reproducible Ambisonics.
