don't foolishly comment on a product that you have never heard before, and likely will never hear. the product is amazing, and produces an unbelievable image for a tabletop product. ferrari has never put their name or icon on any other product in the world, and there certainly is justified reason why they allowed Meridian to use them, as well as their trademarked ferrari colors.
worth the money when you consider their speakers run well into the tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention their dvd and cd players.
"ferrari has never put their name or icon on any other product in the world".
Yes they have. There is an Acer laptop with a Ferrari logo, and there is an line of clothing with a Ferrari logo. And Ferrari branded watches and sunglasses. And a Ferrari branded Segway. etc. etc. etc. The logo might mean extra attention to design or quality, but it does not magically bestow upon the product qualities that justify a 5-10x markup on the sort of price it should be selling for.
I'm sure it's a great system BTW but it damned well should be the price. A DAB/fm/CD combo system selling for $300 would also sound great. I admit you might have trouble finding one which is also a DVD player too but I might find some solace in being $2700 better off. $2700 would just about get you an entire home cinema system.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
