The "made in the USA" explanation of the price difference between this and the $100 AppleTV or $90 Roku doesn't really hold water.

Even if Chinese workers are making $0.80 an hour vs $16 for a US worker, the Q would have to soak up a ridiculous number of man hours in assembly to explain such a drastic price difference.

Either that amp is really expensive or Google is just plain overcharging for this thing.
