I do not recall ever reading a product idea on this forum so have no idea where to put it so...
Think of this..Today we have iPOD's that can store and play standard resolution CD quality files. I expect some fellow a bit ahead of the times will eventually crank out an iPOD that can handle 96/24 files, probably soon...so, my idea
Perhaps someone could build a wireless device to attach to that iPOD that would bypass the iPOD's internal DAC not unlike todays Wadia i170 or the Teac interface, a device that would send this DIGITAL signal to an owners own external DAC of choice wireless...
Now that would be one heck of a device, especially if the maker did not try to screw buyers with an absurd price. I figure if Audioengine can already do that with an analog device for under $100 bucks a $500 digital one seems in reach...one that is future proof and ready to handle 96/24 files...
Anyway, that is what I would pay for such a device...I suspect using your iPOD as a high res server wireless would be hard to ignore.
