it is crap and definitely not an audiophile’s dream! due to the fact that it is made from cheap parts and it is mp3. the only thing worse than something like this is a Bose amp.

I also found them on eBay, which has the advantage of being in English. I got good communication from the seller, plus it seems to be a bit cheaper:

Thanks Kristian,

Is is me, or are few things not made in China these days?

To make matters even more confusing, the device (according to the Japanese page) is actually made in China…

Many thanks for the link, though I should add that I was well aware the the linked site is not the official product site, and that its Korean where as the product is Japanese (I have linked to this particular site a few times).

That said, I’m sure your link will be appreciated by readers as much as it is by me.

Cheers.

Gakken is a Japanese company, this Korean website is obviously just selling the imported product. Original page from the actual company that makes them. http://shop.gakken.co.jp/shop/order/k_ok/goodsdisp.asp?code=1575024700
