When some removes the touch screen and all physical inputs, alongside the iBrain streaming service.
God you're right, if Apple is the one that creates it and calls it iBrain I'm not sure if I'd be on board. I was hoping for something less corporate for the brain streaming.
the closest thing I know of is https://www.hearinglink.org/your-hearing/implants/auditory-brainstem-implants/ not exactly hires delivery just yet, but it would only need small changes to send in your playlist instead of the signal picked by a microphone over the ear.
TBH it would be pretty easy to make a system with multiple crossovers and send the signal directly to the auditory cortex with the right range of frequencies to the right areas. the only reason not to do it would be if you really care about the areas of your brain that would need to be cut open for the procedure. a true audiophile wouldn't let such tiny details bother him.
how can 93% fail this test? didn't they see John Woo's documentary called "Face Off"?
Why spend $300,000 on speakers when you can get brain surgery at twice the price?
I'm am also appalled that 93% fail that quiz. It's like they don't live in the same reality that you and I do.
