Lots of news about the new $80 device from Creative that claims to restore the original fidelity of compressed audio files (e.g. MP3, WMA, AAC).I wonder if there is any similarity in what this device is doing to Burwin Bobcat device? Dramatic difference in price between the two devices.
Has anyone heard the Burwin product? Is there anything to these audio restoration products?

Follow Ups:
Cnet has posted a positive review of the Xmod.-CB
that they claimed would make a DVD played on a 19 inch television beyond the visual quality of a movie theater.Most people would find this claim preposterous. However, since they have not said what they mean by "quality", they can always claim some narrow advantage in one area.
So it is with this miracle audio product.
Creative claim many things for their products, but many don't measure up. Clever use of specmanship!
What this appears to be doing is "making up" for the truncated bits on lossy formats in the highest and lowest parts via some sort of algorithm.So, I would think it is acting more like an equalizer with a boost in the highs and lows rather than a true upsampler??
OMG -.-
This has the potential of being the biggest fraud in audio, ever....Once again, if resolution is lost, it cannot be recovered. When 24/96 is reduced to MP3, it will never be better than MP3 afterwards. Regardless of the effort to attain otherwise.
big bullshit.. you can't restore bits that doesnt exist...
be serious....
I mispelled "Burwen". Sorry about that. It's late.
