Thought that would grab your attention !!!
In deciding whether to upgrade from 1066 -> 1098 / 1068 I have come up with perhaps what I see as an ideal Processor. I find this pretty usefull as not only does it determine what features are actually used and desired by customers but also allows ROTEL and co to understand what is really important. So here goes I'll kick it off if others want to add / change ... please do.
1) True Premium grade OP Amps throughout.
2) No TFT screen but large dot matrix display allowing settings to be viewed.
3) "Higher" spec componentry throughout (i.e. where current components are below par)
4) Removable / Upgradable CPU (as per PC)
5) Expandable / Upgradable ROM memory banks (as per PC)
6) Get harmonic distortions to the spec quoted for the 1068 ... why is it higher anyway? Or is this a website blooper?
7) Keep chassis as is - think its a great build.
8) Ability to download THX2 ULTRA software, for a fee from THX, to the now expanded memory bank if desired.
9) Hardware THX2 Ultra compliant.
Seems to me the savings on the screen could quite easiliy cover the above changes... and perhaps improve the signal to noise ratios too...
So what would you rather have the above unit or the current 1098 for the same price?
Any other thoughts?
Regards Steve.
