I think they will be trying to make fewer disc spinners rather than more, given the unstoppable move to streamed material.

Perhaps a more useful approach would be to work with a small number of like-minded companies such as Oppo, who make components that M doesn't want to but that M buyers will typically have in a system.

The co-operation would ensure an RS232 interface on the component with a full 1-to-1 map to all M comms commands, and some expected level of output spec appropriate to the unit (eg multichannel PCM over co-ax for an Oppo).

Then M produce a standardised mini comms box that allows third party components to be seamlessly integrated into an M system. Physically small and relatively low cost.
