$2800 is a LOT of money for something so limited in functionality. And Yamaha can't compete with 1:1 personalized service. $1000 for hardware and $1500 profit on an afternoon of work seems like a decent business opportunity to me.

meh.
Forget about all that support and installation stuff. You need some pseudo-science to augment your marketing strategy, and for God's sake raise the price. Remember, your product will be marketed to audiophools. They pay $2800 for speaker cables.
Next, you will need a review that says mp3s from boxes like this sound "warmer" than from bog-standard PeeCee's.
