Phew Bob, think of the price tag?

I could envisage 1U racking style cases...



Containing a) the Aria, b) the big DAC and c) a stereo power amp...

And they could be stacked (or even racked), or even not have rack ears and use some bling stand...

But a phono stage included? I doubt if we'd achieve Reflex quality sharing the same power supply.
That none should be able to park up and enjoy the view without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Ifor, you've just demonstrated why this combo unit would be a nightmare to produce! LOL We all have our own preferences, and unless something is totally modular I don't see how Graham could contemplate building it . . . it was a bit of daydreaming on my part, TBH! 

As far as the ethernet socket goes, Graham would need to build in some streaming solution - maybe use Stream Unlimited's offering like a lot of companies do. This would make it a MegaCombo. Beer (I can't see a little graphic of pigs flying . . . LOL )

But it would be a 10th the price of a Burm**ster combo for 110% of the quality Wink.

(Ok, leave the Reflex out, but put in a Streamer . . .)

I forgot to leave out the tone controls, but I would like the streamer.

I hadn't realised, though I suppose I should have done, that companies buy these units in. Do the companies that use them produce products of different quality due to the way their implementation of the bought in component, or are they all the same?

I would imagine that implementation is the key. The bought in streamer board would deliver a stream to the DAC which would be the responsibility of the buying company to fettle.
