Will there be a one box solution from Meridian taking care of all the DVD, DVD-A, CD, and more importantly SACD on the other side of the world including pre-amp, bass management and full balanced output configuration?

Convenience rules! No brainer, all disc in one with above average music quality will suffice.

Secondly, SACD is gaining momentum. It's certainly difficult to modify the 861, a purely PCM machince, to cater DSD, but a different production line is definitely needed to start designing SACD compatible player

Thirdly, you can also see that Hi-end manufacturers like Linn and Enlightened Audio Design (EAD) producing similar products - some even with amps. Meridian, please be the first to produce a one box with SACD and good quality video section with SDI output!

Last of all, an optional tuner card and an optional stereo input for TV etc...

Don't you think that's neat? I hope it will appear not just in my dream. And reasonable price please.
