At least from my point of view you don't have to play catch-up. If all you wanted was a nice DAP, just get whatever is already out--there're several players that have MOST of the features one could want.
If you want a DAP with a good amp, use a line-out and a portable amp.
The problem is that there is no unit with a really good digital out. Except a PC.
Seriously, from my perspective this would be just about the most ideal: HDD based, transportable, gapless, and high quality digital output. Most of the convenience and benefits of a computer hifi setup without the computer.
In fact, it might be easiest to just leave out the analog step completely--or at least the internal amplifier part.
Stuff like physical UI, GUI, all that stuff would only have to be minimally functional. Just enough to get the job done. At least for my vision.

There's no way to play catch-up at this point without massive resources at your disposal. And while you're trying to do what's already been done, other companies will continue to advance thier own products.... |
