@trurl @futurebird there is literrally no machine or engineer on this planet who can build or knows how to build something like this. when technics reissued the 1210 a few years back, they had to reverse engineer everything and retool a whole factory as they destroyed all manufacturing equipment back in the day. these are the marvels of capitalism. Fiio literally took the best available casette mechanics and even improved them. this is peak cassette player technology in 2024.
