The upside is simple - the technology works, doesn't cost an arm and a leg and doesn't take an act of Congress to make work.

A system always has to have speakers, and these stand alone and are uninvolved with the system optimization process, other than that they work pretty well. > > Active speakers with DSP is only a small leap from ditto including DRC. > There's money to be made here! Who'll take the market first? I think the next step would be speakers and AVRs that are connected via a digital link. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103847 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
