Chord is shitty about MAP. A dealer or distributor probably has too much stock and is selling to MD at a low price. Chord is just butthurt about an unofficial channel selling their beloved mojo and undercutting their dealer network.
Also internet direct means no 30-40 points each for dealers and distributors. Going the Schiit route means 3x as many components for the price. The mojo in the internet direct world would cost roughly $160-200 and could still net Chord the same amount or more per sale.
@zerodeefex That little?! I'll admit I'm still relatively new to the world of audio, but the dealer markups still surprise me.
Hmm, looking at it that way it's no surprise certain other, primarily internet-retail brands pretty much kick the Schi— er, crap out of others in their respective price points.
