Theta Digital - Supernova Upgradability

One very interesting thing about the back of the Super seen here at Home Theater is the use of thumb screws for each of the four rear panels.  This of course implies a level of biodegradability and interchangeability not seen before below the Casablanca.

Of course, there were some upgrade boards available for the Casanova (at least DTS and Circle Surround), as well as some digital input boards, but AFAIK they all required a trip to the shop. 

Looking at the back of the Supernova, I would be very happy to trade half of those digital inputs for an Ethernet port.  Maybe Theta can pick up some of the designers of the Squeezebox Touch for help with a streaming interface that is Android and iPhone savvy.  Just saying.
