Custom Reactor and Dante

[misterhon]

Is it very difficult to market a Dante-based, consumer "AV receiver" for speakers like the Phantoms, and make it relatively simple to set up and affordable? I wonder why nobody in the consumer home theater business has developed it yet.

Dante requires Ethernet to be cabled for all the components and a PoE switch added. Most consumers will not want to set this up in the home. There is also the additional cost to the AVR.

For a small setup, you can get around the PoE requirement using a cheap power injector for each port. Not sure what to make of the AVR costs, though.
