That's right. On a $2k device they decided that it just wasn't worth spending more than a tenth of a cent on the final resistor, thus hopelessly crippling the sound and rendering it scarcely worthy of the tag fidelity, whether high or not. OR - there really isn't much that can go wrong with a resistor (unlike a volume pot, which has movable contacts), so cheap ones provide 99.999999999% of the performance of expensive ones, and no-one can actually hear the difference as it's all placebo.
