I read about this awhile ago. I don't see the point.
The "Crystallizer" may or may not be worth its weight in salt, but I'm betting no. You never want to upsample stuff, and it's just not necessary and often times ruins the sound. But maybe they've got something here, who knows.
I find it hard to believe that this chip is equal to, or useful as, a 3.4ghz processor. The "upmixing" that supposedly covers the other 1.7ghz does NOT require that much. At all. My M-Audio does that JUST fine, never flinches, and it's probably only 100mhz or less.
In short: I find it hard to believe that this will be worth the money, and believe me, it'll be quick the kick in the wallet for this little beast.
