A box with 1/2 HDMI In (±whatever) -> DSP -> however many Optical Outs shouldn't be too difficult: the Meridian HD621 has been out for several years.
Or, alternatively, how many would be satisfied with even a 3-channel Expert Pro? It wouldn't seem to be a less tidy setup than the same number of Phantoms with multiple external processors, and not much more than the premium they're charging. Actually now that I think about it, a properly developed D1000 could make for a very attractive 7-channel solution.
Tend to agree. Appears that most proposed set-ups are a bit of a patchwork. Always felt that an Expert / Phantom multi-channel system could have real potential but unfortunately don't believe that Devialet is placing any focus on the topic.
