The Ebay-link is incomplete.

You can find information and reviews (mostly in german) on the Vincent players here:

I hadn't seen these before, but I find it interesting that it has the same porthole as the Shanling/Music Hall players and the same display as the Rotels.

I wonder if you find similarities like these outside of China.

 

Well it sure looks cool. Don't think I'd drop $430 without some thorough reviews, but that's just me.

 

Don't think I'd drop any money without listening to it first. Or at least be able to return it if I didn't like the sound.

 

Strange that I've never heard of these. At first glance it looked like a chopped and modded Maverick (http://www.musichallaudio.com/products/products.asp?lookup=maverick), but it's not. The design looks very much like it is of Shanling origin. I'll have to look into this.
