$500 range for a piece of gear like this SDbox is going to take a while, or sure wont be able to compete with the quality of it.  That's the thing with a lot of these products, sure some are less expensive, but is the R&D/quality of components as good as one 2-3 times more?

R&D doesn't mean shit if they can't get it to market- we've been waiting almost 18 months for this.

^^which isnt a bad thing considering they are hopefully getting all the kinks out....
I wonder what Apogees R&D is like for their portable products.  Had they tested them enough, no one would have encountered as many problems as have been reported, and the little things (DC inputs) could have been made better.  
It'll be worth the wait 8)

I hear ya, but I wish they'd stop saying "oh, it will be ready sometime this quarter" when they really mean "we'll market it when we're damn well ready."  I'd just like them to deliver something when they say they will, that's all.  It's like being asked to "pull forward" after you pay at McDonalds...

did someone really think this box should only cost $500?  you can't get a used p1 for $500.

The USBPre looks like a little tank, and is nicely compact compared to my UA-5.  I hope that the best of their previos designs are incorporated.

They don't let open links at work, but would that be the Big Kahuna Burger ?  And a shake ?

All these production delays have tatally screwed me!
I had made an arrangement to trade in my DAP1 and MP2 for the SD 722 almost a year ago. Now S.Sense states since that staff member doesn't work there any more they won't accept my DAP1 - even though it was also purchased through S.Sense. I have sent S.Sense many, many tapers to purchase their gear for almost 10 years, but now I'm unsure if I can continue to recommend them. I will say this much, the next time they fail to live up to an agreement it will be the last time I do business w/them.

Straight-up trade:  DAP1/MP2 for the SD722?  Or trade towards an SD722, as in plus cash?
