Tascam CD-400U Media Player is a Complete Audio Source

Long known for its versatile professional media players for the professional integrator and pro audio markets, Tascam has introduced its CD-400U media player. This is now the perfect audio source for everything, combining a slot-loading CD player, AM/FM tuner, stereo SD recorder, and Bluetooth wireless and USB connectivity. The Tascam CD-400U can also record from CD or the AM/FM source to CD or to USB media.

A new single-board 64-bit based on a Quad Core ARM Cortex A53 1.2 Ghz CPU is now being promoted on Kickstarter targeting both electronic enthusiasts and designers looking for a simple, affordable and expandable Linux and Android platform. The platform will enable an affordable entry into the 64 bit world, for new exciting developments.

Some audio manufacturers seem to be following the same familiar paradigm regarding file distribution and streaming audio as they have previously done with physical media formats. The problem is, in areas such as media players, servers, DACs and the like, the audio industry no longer dictates the rules.
