Those little devices are filled with snake oil. Buyer beware.

As far as I can tell, Machina Dynamica actually started off as a parody of audiophiles ... then a tidal wave of idiots bashed down their metaphorical door, screaming "TAKE MY MONEY!!" As woo-hostile as I am, I can't quite bring myself to completely condemn them for just taking such resolutely stupid people's money. I must write up the story for RationalWiki.
