Since there already are folks manf. portable CD transports and even a cassette player, I'm going to say bring back Minidisc!

I was a huge MD fan back in the day and think the format is cool, but I just don't see the supply of new MDs and hardware there to make a meaningful difference. It was a niche product back in its' heyday, I can't even see it returning to that.

An entry turntable that is not just a repurpose of the skywin, hanpin or leetac mechanisms on the market. Walked into a big box retailer here in australia and there was literally like 15 or so turntables all from different brands who should in theory have nothing to relate them together all using the same turntable mechanism. It just screams of laziness and I feel ifi if they were to go into the turntable market could genuinely bring something new and actual competition to this sector of turntables

may be off topic, but since AMR is the parent company to ifi (I think?) please give an update on the super flagship Diablo DAC

I honestly loved the mini-disc format!

Cheers!!

How about a full dedicated desktop headphone tube amp using some nicer tubes like EL34s, KT88s, 2A3s, or 300Bs?

I would think that I (personally) might die and go to heaven!

Still use my NEO connected to my DV 336 SE

A companion app for go pods that does parametric EQ

Something that works for casual at the desk use while also being transportable and working for longevity

Shortrer variants of your power cables (Nova and Quasar)

I definitely agree with this.

I'd love a sequel of the Go Blu, i.e. Go Blu2. Maybe lower the hiss of the OG, introduce IEMatch, and add a display - and that's that. Instant purchase.

I've noticed this as well, even some DAPs have no gapless for Tidal Or Qobuz, wish I knew why this was

Cheers!!

This is true within the native players. The good thing about Android is you can download Neutron or UAPP (my choice) in the Google store and both provide gapless playback, at least within my Shanling.

But to the subject at hand, I agree with others here that a high end, iFi DAP would be exciting! That may be too much more in your wheelhouse than a turntable, though! Bring it iFi!

It was either MD or 8-track

Ya but I had an 8 track recorder as a youngin'

Talk of the town and very popular I might add



Cheers!!

OK, a bit more serious…
HipDAP. With no Android or touchscreen. Mechanical buttons, FTW.
