Idea for a new component

Thinking it would be nice if someone would make a combination Streamer, DAC and Phono head amp. Cambridge? BAT? Ayre? I'd buy one.

In Solid State design,NAD Master series makes one as does Naim but my $ would go for a SimAudio Moon 390,which I might add also offers a superb headphone circuit..

Maybe i'm not understanding what a Phono Head Amp is?

I guess what I'd like to see is a combination of components into one package become the norm. Example: Today, you can buy a streamer and you can buy a DAC. Not uncommon these days is a component with a streamer/DAC combination. Just take it a step further and add a quality phono amp (headphone amp would be nice also) and you've got a new component type.

My idea for a new component would be a single run power cord with 3-4 "branches" at the input and output. Would cut down on clutter.
