Chris,<br /> <br /> I am sorry if you have gotten the wrong impression regarding the Blue Smoke Systems Black Box. First regarding DVD-A, we did not mean to imply that we are the first to support DVD-A. It basically got lumped in to our message about SACD. We can now capture the digital audio directly from an SACD player and store it in our server. As far as we know, we are the first to accomplish this. If not, we apologize and look to you for further information.<br /> <br /> As for DSD playback, this is new to the Black Box and utilizes the ful DSP support as well as hardware advances in which The Black Box supports. We are playing the Puget Sound DSD files with tremendous success. You truly have to hear it to believe it.<br /> <br /> To the last point, we are not in any way "hiding behind a smokescreen". We are at The Mirage in the Penthouse Suites, E-50 and anyone and everyone is invited to stop by. In fact we have attempted on multiple occassions to set up a time with you to stop by and show you what we are doing. Invitations were sent out in the last few weeks and we have specifically attempted to contact you by both e-mail and phone to arrange an appointment.<br /> <br /> While we are named Blue Smoke Systems, there is no smoke and mirrors here. We invite you to call us (our cell phone is (847) 977-0220) any time to set up an appointment.<br /> <br /> We look forward to hearing from you, and to you hearing the latest upgrades to The Black Box. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.<br /> <br /> Regards,<br /> <br /> Ron Lapporte<br /> Blue Smoke Entertainment Systems
