I wonder if there's a way to get the computer out of the way. In other words, make the computer a facilitator -- not a middleman. Software would just be a list of what's in ones collection instead of a potential coloration contributor. No more discussion about what software sounds better (as it shouldn't have an affect on the audio in the first place), no more discussion about memory play, etc. This would seem to require the invention of a new piece of hardware with an on-board controller. The hardware would be contolled by the computer, but wouldn't require the data (audio) to go through the computer in any way.
Or, better yet, someone needs to build a transport that uses a larger storage medium than a disc. Eliminate the computer entirely in the music hardware chain. Instead, use it to write to the hard drive that will replace the disc medium. There are some products on the market which come close to this, but they're still running an OS to do it. What I'd like to see is a purpose-built product whose system (perhaps ASIC based) is not much more advanced than a DVD player.
