How about a SOL that can play LPs, CDs, SACDs, 7.1 BluRay and 8 track cassettes? It would be cool if it incorporated digital room correction too!

Don't forget HDCD, wax phonographic cylinders, mini DV tapes for my 2002 camcorder, and bluetooth streaming to wireless speakers for that sweet, sweet lossy sound!
I'm a bit saddened that you left out compact cassette's; they're making a comeback you know.Yeah. Everything for everybody! It’ll sell like hot cakes.
.....I would appreciate a CD transport that was well built and vibration free with no or minimal mechanical noise.
Hi Mike. How about this.
Bifrost 2. Use the Jot chassis with 2x18bit chips in SE and CAB (Cheap-Ass Balanced) circuit. USB, BNC, Coax, Opt inputs. XLR and 2 RCA outputs. $600-$700.
Whaddya think?
As for video, while we do need a true successor to Oppo, I'm betting the firmware updates and service requirements after the sale can be a real PITA for manufacturers. Schiit would have to add video knowledgeable staffing. Lastly, think about the reasons Oppo is getting out of the business.
Cambridge Audio, for one, makes and all-in-one disc AV player similar to the Oppo's, so there are still options on the market for that type of device.

Assuming this is an upgrade of the Bimby, I'd be in. Otherwise, not. Still wondering about the value proposition of my Bimby since the Mimby came out.
As a Bimby owner and upgraded to the latest USB level, the pledge of Schitt's stating Bimby is a dac that you will be able to upgrade as "new" stuff comes out means a lot to me.
If a Bimby 2 comes out I am counting on this potential "new" technology or advances be availbale as an upgrade to Bimby 1.
