What stops us from having a device like this but instead of the wired analogue outputs it sends out 8 channels of 24/96 remotely to little receiver units that can be plugged directly into powered speakers , amps and subs?
These little receivers could be battery powered , you need 4 buy 8 and you have a charging unit in a cupboard. Simply replace the unit like a lightbulb as and when.
Software in the main unit would take care of all synchronisation and delay issues as well as room EQ automatically. Enabling one as much placement freedom as possible and a wide variety of speaker end point variation to be taken into account.
Is the problem one of standardisation wrt the wireless transmission? Is that what we are waiting for as as far as I know it's technically possible and not overly expensive to do.
