Are you aware of the architecture of that new and highly popular class of
machine called the "Tablet"? ;-)

Most can be interfaced to home equipment for AV, both audio and video.
Some
of the interfaces are pure digital for highest quality.

So much for machines with low inherent noise being niche machines!

Good point, but not enough storage, slowish processors and I'm not sure
how Android would cope with serving 1TB of data.

Android appears to be a dialect of Linux which supports large volumes.

Android currently supports an updated version of the FAT32 file system
called YAFFS2 and is to be or was recently upgraded to a new file system
called EXT4.

FAT32 has long been capable of supporting volumes up to 2 TB.

Moving on to EXT4:

"The ext4 filesystem can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exbibyte (EiB)
and files with sizes up to 16 tebibytes (TiB).[9]"
