@cdamian @vidister @Gargron to the hardware guys: has anyone built a mostly-analog MP3 decoder already? Surely there is a bit of digital frontend, but do we really have to all computations in cold digital realm and then put it through a digital-sounding DAC? it'd be much warmer to the ear if most of the decoding was already pure and fat analog!!
