Yup. Right. The Micro Portable is our portable amp in the Micro chasis. The Micro Amp and DAC our best stationary amp bound to an AC socket in the Micro enclosure.

My thinking is that the already-existing Rockbox firmware gives you a "software" solution that would let you Just Add Hardware, more or less. I'm sure it's not that easy, and at the very least it'd be a support nightmare for you, so there's that.

Yes, indeed. But I get your drift and have drifted there myself many times. But much of success comes from effective focus. I really don't think I can add much to what's going on with digital players, but I do think I have something to say in the personal audio display side efter the source. I also think there is a natural boundry there that allows us to clarify our mission.

a single-box high-quality DAP is like the holy freakin' grail to me, and I want SOMEBODY to make this thing.

Duely noted. And I have some similar leanings myself as to what I'd really like to carry around. We'll see if something comes along in the long run. I can definately see some scenarios where such a thing might rear it's head.

Cool. Here's the scoop as I see it: the Altec Lansing cheap stuff sounds pretty damn good. Pick up a basic computer speaker system for a couple hundred and be pretty content. After that, buy the entry level
Blue Sky Media Desk 2.1 System for about $500 MAP somewhere and be friggen happy as a clam for making such a steal.
After $500 it get's a bit trickier. I really like the
NHT M00 active speakers and
S 00 sub. You can put together an NHT system for about a grand.
Once your ready to drop a couple of grand, well ... you should probably wait to see what we're going to do. Seriously. Just wait a bit. You'll love it.
