Sounds interesting but there is no USB output? The server field is just starting to heat up so it will be great to see all of the new entries. I still favor the Auraliti for $800. $2000 is alot for a box that rips and streams. Maybe if you need FLAC and ALAC this would be the ticket.
Wyred4Sound Shows Nuew uDAC and Music Server
Some new items announced by Wyred4sound
"The $399 Wyred4Sound µDAC sports 24/192 coaxial/Toslink and an asynchronous 24/96 USB input into an ESS Sabre DAC all inside a puny 3.5" squared and machined chassis with cut-out company logo on top which doubles as blue back light with signal lock. For streaming the computer provides power via USB, for S/PDIF a supplied power adaptor does.
The new half-width 1TB wireless Music Server [$1.999] is compatible with Pandora and MOG via Logitech's Squeezebox controller application on an Apple or Android device. Supported file types up to 24/192 are AAC, APE, AIFF, Apple Lossless, Monkey's Audio, FLAC, QuickTime, MP3, MPEG-4, Musepack Ogg Vorbis, MPEG-4 SLS/HD-AAC, WAV, Windows Media, WMA Lossless, WMA Pro and Wavpack. Data output is via coaxial, Toslink or I²S. CDs are ripped automatically with the built-in drive and there's network file uploading. The device runs fanless."
