interesting to see if this pans out... my guess is it will not. those of us old enough to remember the M class PCs that Compaq introduced that had daughter cards in them so that you could upgrade the box with a new card... failed miserably.

Price/per box ended up being cheaper than the daughter card upgrades. Plus, the surrounding technology couldn't accomodate the daughter card enough to keep up with surrounding competitor products. Interesting decision of Onkyo's. looks like a costly mistake to me. What's the ticker symbol for Onkyo, better place that short order.
