Does anyone know anything about these boasting 1000 resistors needs 5vdc and has internal relays ?

① The overall seal design, the use of aviation-grade aluminum alloy materials using precision CNC manufacturing aluminum forming. Shell with frosted gold process technology. long lasting.

② Using potentiometer control MCU high and low level, pure resistance circuit, exponential curve, adjust the sense of smooth.

③ With the Netherlands VISHAY one thousand high-precision chip resistors, with high reliability, anti-vibration ability. Solder joint defect rate and low. High frequency characteristics of superior. Reduced electromagnetic and RF interference to sound quality is a good guarantee.

④ Omron audio gold contact signal relay, with long life, gold-plated contacts mainly to improve the contact contact resistance, loss of long life, to ensure good contact.

This could be a stepping volume controller, using a signal relay to initiate a mute function.
Or it could be a relay selected stepping vol pot, but very unlikely in such a small case.
Or it could be codswallop since there is no specification against which to compare the product to what is (not) promised.

Well, the title says it all. It's a potentiometer with six feet. :D

No, seriously, the description seems to imply somehow that it might be an R2R stepped attenuator. Maybe it's controlled via the small pot visible in the photos. But I wonder how that would fit into such small case. I guess there is only one way to find out...
 
The "thousand" perhaps was meant to be thousandth in resistor precision.

The pot in the front could be a DC divider that tells the MCU about its angular position, so as for the latter to determine a relay combination for the stepping resistor network.

It appears to be a challenge for the given space, but with a flexible PCB it's probably doable.
