That is a pretty cool project. Having said that, I don't know what I would do with one. As it stands it's a 2-channel player, but it's possible to get a 2-channel player for less than that. If you expand it to 8 or 16 channels, then it's unique, but I still don't know what I would do with it. I suppose that if I were to go to someone's home or facility and they had 8 or 16 speakers but no computer hooked up to them, then it might be a good way to interface with that system using a minimum of hardware.
Now, if it were able to right to the flash instead of reading from it, that I would find interesting. An 8-channel pocket recorder. I need one of those.

It is basically a SD-card player and I wonder, if this might be interesting for some on this list. The price is about 200,- Euro, which makes it really affordable. The file has to be written onto the SD-card by the use of a computer and a usual card-reader/writer, though. The link is here: http://www.waveplayer.de/ I even talked to the person developing it and he said, that higher sample rates for multichannel might be featured in one of its next software-updates, as this would be no technical problem to provide this. I am quite curious what people on the list might think about this device and if there are even experiences or test results about it.
