I would like to see a future iteration of the remote with a display. It likely would have to be at a higher price point, but I think there could be a potential market for 2 SKUs - the current one and an "advanced" one. They are both add-ons, so users can choose either or neither. Here's what I'd love to see on it:
- Display showing at least volume level
-- Track/source info would be nice, but this may be more trouble than it's worth. Beyond the metadata transmission, there's the question of how large the display has to be to accommodate it
- Play/Pause and Skip -/+ would be great (mute would be nice too but I don't see it as essential when you have play/pause). Again, you're increasing the complexity and would have to accomplish it with either touch sensitivity or mechanical operation but to me it would be very useful.
B&O's Essence wheel remote comes to mind or what the folks an Nuimo are doing. I've been others in the forum talk about the latter and perhaps there may some ability in the future to have it interface with the Phantoms.
Just my $0.02.
