Another limited edition, overengineered and elitist product, like many turntables released recently. This small run, grab it while you can mentality is pointless. The specs might be OK and it might sound decent, but if they think it's a good product, then why not tell the world to buy one and enjoy the latest example of a 40 year old format? It's also a streamer and more use than a basic CD player, but why the exclusivity? It's a silly shape and design, it will be sat there in 99 living rooms as a status symbol and something to brag about to your limited edition friends. It's nonsense and I hate it.
