He hyped it as cutting edge because it played a proprietary music file whose A2D conversion was at some crazy bit size. The price for the thing was $400 -- twice the price of an iPhone 6, which had been released roughly the same time. And the thing failed spectacularly because even audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between music played on it versus music played on an iPhone.
