I wonder if anyone has any thoughts or feedback about Saramonic audio products - it looks like they're trying to compete with the Beachtech and JuicedLink lines with nods to Tascam:

Saramonic Audio

Saramonic SR-AX107

Saramonic SR-AX-X1

They also have a bunch of recorders. The links are loading really sloooooooooow for me, so patience may be indicated. They're selling their stuff through Amazon and Ebay, but there's only like one useless review on Amazon.
 
So they are beginning to trickle out - so far no real details, but reviews are supposed to be forthcoming:

Wow, looks like the quintessential Chinese clone-factory at work. And using somebody's old antique computer as a web server at that.
Their web server is so slooooooow, it is practically indistinguishable from just plain broken. My browser is giving up and timing out a lot.
Of course, the products MIGHT be well-made, but there is some significant negative circumstantial evidence around them.
OTOH, their Chinglish is better than many Chinese vendors. Even as I was writing this, their website just gave up completely.
 
A high-quantity mixer for $200.. guess I'll be selling that expensive SD gear and have a party with the proceeds.
 
Heh. Well what's curious is that at $200 they are really going against the Tascam DR-60DmkII which is also at $200, though they are slightly different. So it's not super super cheap.
