It is a RAID-based hard drive storage and provider system, which stores and plays back UNCOMPRESSED video. It can upload DVD's and even HD content. It has an excellent user interface. It's currently being distributed on an Ethernet sytem, and I don't know enough to say if that will have enough of a transfer rate to get high-res sound. However,it's not far from that type of uncompressed system to uncompressed audio storage. Supposedly, their audio portion will be released in a few weeks. Of course, it starts at $22,000.
It will take some doing to wean us from our transports, etc., but I believe that the future is staring us in the face.
