While I agree with Julian's general observation about the innards of the Cipher in comparison to it's retaill asking price, keep in mind that the Cipher is a CD/SACD player, so it deals with low level signals as compared to an amp that has to amplify low level signals. So transformer needed in the Cipher much smaller. No heat sinks required and so on. There are many digital pieces where half the case is empty. There is usually very little correlation between cost of bill of goods in a piece of equipment and its retail pricing so point is still well made.
