The original 47 Labs had a stupid name and exploitive price for what is basically a variation of the maker's application note. Gainclone is an even stupider name. My 5.1 Amp has similar monolithic power ICs and cost €99. No decoder, however HDMI / Coax / RCA digital audio in to 5.1 + stereo out digital decoders to drive dumb amps are now very cheap.
