Hi Nonoise,
Economically feasible is most likely the real question. The builders that Al recommended are quality builders that stock reasonable quantity and quality parts. I have no direct experience and they would want a cash outlay from me and you are correct that the cost would be higher than a manuafacturer that geared up for a few thousand pieces. Unless someone stepped up and put up the startup outlay for a model being manufactured??? for me, I'm hoping to being able to afford a solution if I can get a manufacturer to bite... I do business with Asus and have built with alot of their parts myself, but my contacts have always been through distribution with Asus, so I haven't had any real discussions with them, Although I know enough people that I believe that I could certainly make a conversation happen to investigate if they would have interest. Maybe I am thinking wrong, but I'm thinking along the same lines as Tom mentioned above for minimum requirements, not sure we need a bd-r, but other than that, everything else seems necessary for high sound quality.
