RE: At what point did audio designers feel our lives were too easy and your stereo should be a black box mystery

I have been around as long as most and have come to the conclusion that a PC/Mac with one's choice of software is the solution. Having a somewhat generic platform, and not an audiophile component, frees one from the tyranny of a single supplier, who's survival and future direction is not assured, for firmware/software.

You can start as low as a Raspberry Pi or a NUC if your source material is stereo and of common resolution. If you need more (for me, multichannel and all available resolutions), you need a bigger box but still retain control of your domain.
