I can see that. But as with many other status quos, things change once a relatively viable project appears and gains momentum. The A/V receiver market seems like it’s totally ripe for a disruption. I see no reason why the overpriced hi-fi companies get to own that market entirely. How come the Chinese haven’t taken a stab at it? It’s not like they care about open source licenses, taking ffmpeg, wrapping it up and selling it half the price of high street hi-fi would be befitting.
