That's cause most of us have looked into in and the price would be astronomical. And again the drive failure especially at extreme temperatures. And we all mix files. I just dropped a bunch on a disc for my ride to the records shoe this morning.

Have a listen to yourself first..... and I mention this to everybody that responded so negatively to my suggestion and plea for information on more progressive head units. I dont know whether to laugh or cry.a) Nobody is talking about hard-drives in the car.b) Many folk in this group are sharing the odd 'file' with one another. They ain't physically handing that to a friend, or posting it in the mail.c) Many of us have enjoyed the odd sacd rip, as a file. I play the ISO from disc, or rip to flac/mp3; You may decide to burn to optical but that's your choice but it's not being progressive.d) I'll bet you dont have any idea how much it might cost and I'll bet it's not likely to be as much as you think.e) Think about otical; one to one relationship between location and playback. If it's in the car, you're not playing it in the house. If the kids have it in their room, you're not listening to it. Files are one to many.... everyone can share it at the same time. No looking for optical media in the kids rooms, or the car. No opening one case to find another discc. (maybe thats just my house)Lastly.... Why do I want to play a whole CD/DVD-A/SCAD when there's often a few good tracks and a pile of $hit filling it? Why wouldn't I want to pick and choose dynamically? Nobody suggest I burn those good tracks to a DVD/CD please, just don't. Files have to be the new dawn and you guys can be part of it or part of history. I want to move forward, in the same way that ripping sacd to file has been.

Sent from my iPhoneProbably does sound great BUT regardless of the format OPTICAL IS DEAD (At least it should be)... It's had it's day. Who wants to be loading CD's/DVDs in this day and age when ALL our music is on files? Lets get with it and stop carrying a bag of optical media to the car at least.I don't even play CDs in the house. SACD converted to flac on the NAS (CDs ripped as flac and mp3, DVD-A converted), and played by pch-c200 media player. I use mp3 on SD cards in the car and get umpteen albums on something the size of a postage stamp rather than have the joy of all those CD boxes rattling about the dashboard. I'd love a head unit that played flac though I'm not convinced by all the multi-channel stuff I've heard at home, and often just play 5 channel stereo to fill the room.If anyone knows of a good head unit that plays flac, multichannel, DAB (recording off DAB would be handy.. love that currently), Bluetooth.... please let us all know. It really is time to embrace the new world and ditch the optical format, on everything.--
