I'm not sure whether we can turn this into a community product, but my
personal view is that an effective Squeezebox replacement for the
community can be made from a small existing arm based device + an
external usb dac.  This means all the audio engineering can be part of
the dac and you can spend from $5 to $5000 based on your preference....

The device itself is probably based on something already available such
as an android stick, raspberry pi or other such device - perhaps we need
to settle on one or a small number of recommended devices and package
for them.  The one thing that most devices have now with hdmi, so a user
interface using hdmi + control over that is probably required/sensible. 
This is not a mass market consumer product, but it gets us to a very
viable solution for community enthusiasts...  (and focusses much of the
effort on software and packaging rather than hardware design and the
necessary volumes this brings)

Squeezelite part of my steps in this direction.  I'd like to look at UI
solutions, perhaps integration with XBMC or alternative user interfaces
hdmi - any takers?
