Or, Parasound could have had MD make its tuner for it...

Unless one is privy to internal documents, I think all that one can say is, that the two tuners look very similar.

It is not necessarily the case that the MD is a rebranded Parasound.

It is more likely, IMHO, that Parasound placed a big order with MD and got a discount, and was willing to live on a thinner margin while making it up in volume.

In either case, if the tuners are the same, the cheaper one is the better buy.

I have had a few bottles of $25 Atlas Peak Cabernet that come with a plain-ish label and which are supposedly overproduction from a vineyard that charges $85 a bottle. I don't think in that case it is fair to say that the $85 Cab is rebranded $25 Cab!
