Currently, if you use the Digital Inputs to play through the Transporter, the right display goes blank.  This is confusing to some customers. (and disappointing.)

Can we display something there?  Even just the time?  I know we have no data to play with to display re: artist or album, and we cannot display graphic VU data, but... something?  Even a random visualizor not in time with the music.  This would assure people the display is not broken, and also thrill them with more eye candy to make them feel like their purchase was well worth it.

Good grief.  I don't even use the right-hand display.  I'm looking forward to some day using it as a replacement for the left-hand display when it goes south.

How about getting the digital inputs to actually work 100% of the time before worrying about eye candy?

Sean, is it possible to do a VU meter on the digital inputs at some point?

Agreed with jzolx, plus there are others reasons why this is not feasible - I don't want to get into the details of it here.
