    This ^. Syn and Urd are both peaking my curiosity... only four days until the Schiitr-Less Meet 2 but it feels like an eternity at the moment.

    As release date is pretty close to april 1st: it would be a really elaborate april fool's day prank to release the BuyBetterGear LED as a standalone device.

    Also it would help all audiophiles to justify further purchases.

    Jason commented on the head-fi thread that none of the guesses so far got it right so at least upsamplers and adc are a no go

    Tube amp with tubes mounted on the sides. Volume goes up when you turn the volume knob to the left. Speaker cable with banana plugs made out of real bananas. Equipment footers that don't couple or decouple, they're just kind of wobbly.

    But wait... doesn't the megazord filter happen right at the dac mathematic part? It wouldn't do anything if you're just converting back to usb out??

    Although personally I wouldn't mind a unison enabled Eitr 2, but I think that particular path is dead in the water for them.

    I would like a DSP (with active crossovers, time alignment, parametric EQ, etc) to go with Schitt’s new small speaker amps for diy speakers or subwoofer integration.

    Or DSP for headphones to give proper acoustic room effects.. Waves NX + DAC in a box.

    But the more likely option is it's a Modi MB with the first version of a new architecture.. replacing the awkward medical chip implementation with FPGA.

    This would hit the $400 price point, but a whole new product name for just a FPGA implementation of their burrito filter...? Or would more go into it than that?

    400$ tube power supply that is compatible with any of the current offerings. Maybe not multiple simultaneously of the large chassis stuff, but at minimum a modi and magni stack from one power supply. Ultimate Cholula!
