Yeah, I saw this a couple weeks back and thought "WTF". They took an average mid-range phone and slapped some better audio processors and DACs inside. Is it worth $600? Probably not but some idiot "audiophile" will buy it.

Considering there are people shelling out $500-2k for audiophile DAPs on Head-Fi I think there's a niche for this.

Plus I believe a comment on Ars might also provide another niche, the dual outputs would actually enable DJs to mix using just this. Not sure how many would want to or how good of quality it'd hold up, but it offers that option.
