High End Audio Market Oppertunities

I agree with ( Ohlala ) & ( Mofimadness ) Making something like the
Sony HAP-Z1ES with a CD slot with auto ripping plus digital out
This way we can get all of our CD's and rip them right in but instead of a HDD hard drive put in a solid state drive and do it right the first time. The problem with the Sony is it doesn't a CD tray to take the CD's right in.

Sure beats some venture capitalists paying for an app that just says "Yo."

And please, oh please, provide the option of some nice wood cabinets like *every* piece used to offer. Think walnut, oak, rosewood, and black ash. This will truly set your products apart from every other mfgr. out there...

I've been doing a lot of doodling with computer audio related things of late and have some good ideas to share.

Will I be getting royalty checks if I do? :^)

I would love to have one box for streaming to do the following
- USB and spdif and optical outputs for connection to a DAC
- HDMI outputs (more for driving a monitor than audio)
- hard wire and wireless LAN connectivity for downloading and streaming internet content
- remote control program to work on a tablet/phone
- an interface with the flexibility of iTunes both on screen and tablet
- Bluetooth mouse and keyboard control
- support for dual hard drives in mirrored raid config - hot swapable
- USB and FireWire inputs for connecting external hard drives
- playback of raw digital files - no modifying the digital content
- CD/SACD playback capability
- real time conversion of DSD files and DSD output for DAC's that support it

I currently have most of the above features, but it takes the following to provide it...
- iMac computer with iTunes (no FireWire)
>>> with Audirvana software
>>> external DVD drive (no SACD support)
- NAS drive - not hot swapable
- Retune software on my tablet

by Christmas please

MSRP $1000 :-)

thanks in advance
