Okay, I'll play.
$150-200 DAC? Nope, not a chance. At least not matching the current line. Plus, Mike would kill me.
Combined amp/DAC? Nope, we're not huge fans of multi-megahertz hash cruising around near sensitive analog electronics. There are too many compromises in a combined amp/DAC, in our opinion.

Thats great...Less is more, and more from having less is Mo' Better!!
USB is the work of the Devil....it should not be in audio but is a necessary evil to sale a product these days. USB is for keyboards and printers not audio gear.
Stick with a simple design that focuses on the powersupply...you are what you eat.
Good Luck!
Hi Jason
When do you think that you will be able to provide more details so that people know what they are saving for? I realise that you need to keep some details secret to retain the competitive advantage of bringing those features to market but is there anything else that you can tell right now?
Do you have some performance benchmarks that you are aiming for or a product design brief etc?
Keep the great stuff coming. I am truly a fan.

All will be revealed in June!
Well, at least all on our intro product. But we'll also provide a brief roadmap on the others as well.
As far as USB goes . . . well, yep, we'll have USB, and it'll be a good implementation, but the two other SPDIF inputs will still outperform it. As someone here mentioned, USB is a *general* data interface, great for printers and external hard drives. SPDIF is a dedicated audio interface.
Thanks for the reply. At least June is rapidly approaching.
I get the feeling that God has sent you to teach me patience....
