>I wonder why it's so expensive [...] Wouldn't this product just contain a small signal processing FPGA, a bunch of ADC's and a couple DAC's? If tech products should cost the sum of their parts then an iPhone 14 Pro and an RTX 3090 should cost about $300. After all, they're just a PCB with some components on them. You're ignoring the enormous R&D costs (engineering salaries, hardware prototyping, sales, marketing, support, etc.) that must be recouped, while also turning a profit, through the sale of each of these low volume products. Developing consumer hardware in the west aint cheap, that's why most western brands other than Apple, and a few other high-end niche ones, pulled out of the consumer market.
