High End Audio Market Oppertunities

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

expanding on the responses above, i'm not sure that a genuinely all-inclusive product exists--i.e. one box which plays/rips cds, has hd storage, does wireless streaming/bluetooth and is an integrated amp. properly priced and designed, such an animal might have a lot of appeal.

An amplifier that has a Tube input stage and the option to choose tube or SS output all in the same amp. It's a tube amp and a hybrid SS amp! Choose which output you want depending on mood, speakers, power requirements, music type, etc...
