I would also LOVE it to use standard SD or CF cards so you could cary a lot of music... 4x SD slots? I'm just saying 1TB would be awesome!

i currently use my ak240 (sometimes with my hugo as well) and useing the MQS streaming feature to play files from an iUSBportHD made by Hyper Drive. the iUSBportHD is configured with a 1TB drive. i can stream all my aiff files up to 192k with no problem. Can't stream DSD's but maybe someday! Also, Tidal running on my iPhone 6 streaming to my Hugo via Bluetooth is another awsome connection. 25 million tracks to choose from all in 16bit 44k cd quality and "look mom" no wires! so lets recap:
1. AK240 with the internal drive & sd card loaded with DSD files and/ or wifi streaming 1TB worth of aiff, alac, flac, etc. with an iUSBportHD drive tucked away in my briefcase/ backpack.
2. Chord Hugo & iPhone 6 streaming up to 25 million songs in full CD quality from Tidal via bluetooth (ie...no cck needed)
3. Patiently waiting for Tidal to be integrated into my ak240 via a system update, soon hopefully. When this happens, my ak240 toslink out into my chord hugo and 1TB iUSBportHD stack will provide virtually unlimited, lossless bliss.
Simply add headphones! If anyone is interested, I will provide photos.
i wonder how a DAP from chord would look like?...
add a small, good looking, functional touch screen.
From Chord? You're dreaming. It's going to be an all multicolored bubbles UI.
You would choose genre by memorizing: red = rock, green = acoustic, blue = metal, indigo = electronica, etc.
Then you would assign different LED colors to artists like Blue = "Blue Oyster Cult," Red = "The Police" (you have to turn on the red light), purple = "Prince," no color = "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince," etc.
The space between the top of the casing and the top of the IC chips. The height of the casing is dictated by those battery packs which would have to be redesigned flat. So, basically, speaking from ignorance, whatever engineering voodoo that Apple uses. But, again, just idle wishing.
