It's all about being relevant. Rather than all the focus on fancy, shiny gear, I'd like to see the mag do more "hands on/news I can use" reporting.
Talk to me me about the slew of Internet radio stations - who's the best in different genres and why, who's new, who's gone, who has the best bit rates, etc. Maybe a monthly series on a dozen or so staff finds/recommendations, too.
Talk to me about all the streaming services - who's best and why, who has the better content, what's new, etc.
Talk to me about how best to get audio from my iPhones, iPods, iPads, PC, etc., into my system in a different room. In short, how about some PC 101 reporting? Talk to me about the music managers like iTunes and how to deal with a full 2 TB drive and moving it to a 4 TB drive and making the 4 TB drive the main source.
Sure, Stereophile does "some" of that. Do more with the same energy and space new components get.
And, say, how come my subscription is $14 a year and all these other folks get it for $7?

I think that Michael Lavorgna now appearing in the print issue should address your issues nicely.
FWIW, for everybody I know who has totally gone into served music, there are at least as many people who listen to Pandora when they want something playing in the background, and then switch to SACD, CD, or LP when they want to listen seriously.

JM, that is exactly how I listen and I've spoken to many others who do the same. I, for one, appreciate reviews like yours on the Tascam CDP and look forward to reading more of the like in the future.
Complaining about CDP reviews-
This jump on the latest bandwagon atitude reminds me of what happened when CD's took over the marketplace and the same kind of nay-sayers complained about the magazines that still published reviews of turntables, tonearms, and cartridges. We all know how that went :-(
Cheers,
Al
