Any devices like Squeezbox Touch but handle 192/24

I like my Squeezebox Touch but have accumulated some 192/24 files I would like to play back at full resolution. Are there any devices that would playback these files like the Squeezebox Touch that also have digital outputs for running into a outboard DAC? I know I could use a computer but don't want to setup a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. and my stereo is some 30 feet from my computer (too far for a USB cable).

I am sure at least one of those does. The top two ought to

Build a vortexbox maybe? http://vortexbox.org/about/

I've been supplementing my Squeezebox Touch (Redbook and 24/96 playback) with my Oppo BDP-95 (streaming 24/192 via DLNA). Works great, but the user interface is quite limited (since the Oppo does not offer DLNA rendering). If you're just planning to feed digital to an outboard DAC, the Oppo BDP-93 would be a better choice ($500 retail).

What is DLNA?

DLNA is another network streaming protocol for music (and video) that can provide bit-perfect streams up to 24/192 (wired ethernet best for high-res). I can access my high-res FLAC files using the Oppo's software and Networking function, but it requires a connected monitor or TV to navigate the folders.
