$499 you could buy JDS the element dac/amp which has a fixed line-out ,rca in and very powerful headphone amp with dac with highest sample rate at 96khz/24bit , and you still have money left to buy another cheap headphone.(the like of Status cb-1 ,cheap but great headphone)
Guys, com'on,This is like saleman waving a sign, "I know this is ridiculous price .. but you guys are stupid and gonna buy it anyway " in your face

VekitWhy make comparisons to a desktop amp and headphones? This is a niche, boutique portable option for IEMs, with competition like Chord, Vorzuge, etc.

TheTaggerungDragonfly dac/amp series , Fiio dac/amp... etc, There are wide ranges of brand that provide which this does with half the price. Now,is that fair comparison now?

VekitThose are all budget options. Boutique means cost no object, which this product is. I bought a $500 portable amp just for it's +15db bass boost. A niche market among a niche market. Aesthetics and presentation are equal to or even trumps performance for people with money.

TheTaggerungBudget options at $200-$300 pricepoint shouldn't trump $500 product in value and function aspect but, the ''subjective'' and ''personal'' aesthetic aspect.
Comparing to point you are trying to refer, you wouldn't say that $1000 headphone amp ,with much lesser function and power-driving capability than $300 amp, should be considered well-worth money because solely it looks nice to you
But it's your money, so spend as you want. I rather save up and buy something that is worth the price
