A classic form component (19 in with wood case and VU meters) networkable streamer with a built-in USB interface that would fit into a classic stereo system in the place of a tape deck (plugging in to a receiver/preamp tape loop). This would have a built in streamer OR could be used as a USB soundcard for a computer. On top of streaming could also be used to rip vinyl and other media while maintaining a form factor that would fit in with a classic stereo system: 19 inch, silver face, VU meters, wood case. There are MANY recording interfaces that do this but none geared toward high-end audio enthusiasts.
