I didn't say cheap; I said poorly engineered :-)

I was a designer of professional audio equipment, later of audio
test equipment, for many years.  More recently I commissioned two
ASICs to do decimation and interpolation.  I've always thought of
audio as being easy; but I keep being surprised by the number of
engineers who are completely clueless about audio.  Some of them
design audio equipment. :-(
