Seems to me like the current wishlist's we have going are all concerning pre-amplification. So here are a couple of points I would like to include in a "source" wishlist.
1: Guess one of the first things people would ask for is a multi format player. However in my oppinion this should only be done when sound quality will not suffer.. Ie. no DSD to PCM conversion but two true DA sections.
2: All format Digital out. Pref in 1394/i.Link format.
The standard is, as I recall, now official so go ahead and use it.
3: One additional stereo output on all DVD/SACD/DVD-A players.
This way you dont have to use the 5.1 inputs for CD playing, but can actually connect it to the CD-input.
4: 3 selection swicth for DVD players. Currently we have NTSC or PAL selection on the back of all DVD players - but what we should also have is a naitive switch. This would allow, especially non-us/canada, users to play region 1 movies in the format they look best. Most TV's/Flatpanels/projectors support both.
And YES there is a difference - especially when it comes to things likes subtitles..
5: DCI/Genesis chip from Fararudja on DVD players. It does make a GREAT difference. And if not then something that equals the quality. Makes my heart blead that a relative low cost product like the Philips 963SA can beat the crap out of my RDV1080 when it comes to the video quality.
6: BNC digital output. Just so much better than RCA.
7: A drive unit only for the next version of the 1098 processor. If request nr 2 becomes a reality, then why pay for DA conversion twice?
8: Until a multiplayer of high quality becomes availeble, then please, please make a very good CD player. I must admit that I feel the current models basicly are crap..
All based on CD-rom drives - so please make one more with a real cd drive unit.
Guess that it my 2 cents worth - and please remember this is in no specific order.
Oh - almost forgot - make better remotes!! But that goes for all products..
