I don't think that RND was trying to compete with the rest of the headphone amplifier market. From what I can tell, there was a desire to have a decent headphone amplifier with balanced inputs- probably something they developed for testing in house, and this performance was deemed to be "more than good enough". For what it's intended for, it probably is.
They don't make any outrageous claims, and my suspicion is that they wanted a headphone amp that met their exact needs. The high price is likely more reflective of production quantities (or at least, intended production quantities) than anything.
