While you're talking about the future, did you check Ralph's recent post about the Slim Devices Transporter and some of the bargain stuff available from Slim Devices?

As to what others may think, I, for one, have been trying for the "Best Sound for the Money" merit badge since the 50's. Can't hardly fault you for doing the same. What is the best sound? Whatever you think it is. It's your money and your ears, so you get to say.

As a side note, I started browsing the forum listening to Louis and Ella from a lossless iPod file through a Total Bithead and a pair of Shure E3c in-ear phones. Now I'm playing the same file through an MF XCanv3 and HD 600's. The music was great both ways. The sound is better with this setup. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

The DEQ2496 is a fun device with an amazing amount of stuff crammed into it for the money.

Downside: it doesn't sound very good, either analog or digital. Be especially careful of overflow errors when it is asked to do much procesing at all (for example, you may hear a quiet popcorn popping kind of sound even when there is nothing being played.) It's made down to a price.

But the concept is good and it is fun to experiement. This is the kind of thing that TacT and others do quite well.
