Hi Mike, I'm with you in everything you wrote, except I don't think we need an ideal world. I want it all now. I'd add that we clearly are at the beginning of really fascinating software applications for all the sound files we have in PCM or DSD. Tailoring or tweaking the sound output could give us some spectacular results. I've always wondered why digital processing was trapped inside a hardware box instead of exposed for user manipulation.
