One article I read said that this player will play anything, not just 192/24 files, and it has "superior" electronics, without saying what that entails. If the designer can come up with a more convenient shape, maybe it does have a future as a high end general player.

Does not fit easily in a pocket or other protective cases made for media players. And too easily mistaken for a chocolate bar by children.

Here's a little link about this issue as to whether the consumer will hear the difference. There's a video on the link illustrating the difference.
