I spent a good 10 minutes and cannot find the cost. Any idea? I note it has configurable filter settings (4?) which is also pretty kewl in that the user can tweak the final "presentation" :)

Specifically, bass, dynamics and soundstage (lacking in comparison). EDIT: Note I intentionally used the word "inexpensive" and not "cheap". So I agree with you. It doesn't have to be expensive to be good.
