JRiver Synapse -- Would you consider a $395 Audiophile DLNA Renderer?
Frobozz:
Would this be something that would be able to play gapless over DLNA or other streaming?
If it does then that would be something that would/could differentiate it from the competition. Gapless playback as a feature is a biggie for me. Because of the types of music I like and how I like to listen to it (as full albums, not as playlist tracks). I'm not sure how big if a deal breaker gapless support is for others, but for me it's a biggie.

If we control both sides, we can make gapless work.

This statement applies for MC in any case regardless of whether or not the actual PC hardware would be purchased from JRiver...
eddyshere:
I would also not go for this kind of hardware.
In my opinion if JRiver wants to go hardware you should make "JRiver tweaked components". I'm maybe dreaming aloud as I don't know how hard it is to team up with "big-weights" or, what exactly licensing restrictions allows you to do or not, but I would more appreciate to see for example :
- a graphic card which is tweaked exclusively for HTPC use with perfect(!) refresh rates and/or exceptional components
- a hdmi audio (only) card
- an add-on soundcard (ie pass-through aka auzentech or xonar who would allow for DSD over HDMI bitstreaming.
- any hardware which would allow for more hi-fi like builds (why not a special case aka origen M10/M7) with an LCD working perfectly with JRiver - I mean format logo lighting up if you play DSD etc... (the case could be branded - actually If I'm not mistaking NAIM uses a special proprietary edition of the M10).
- on the software-side even if I remember Jim already stated his "not-interested"...I would love to see driver and add-ons allowing for better integration of a JRiver Machine into global remote systems aka RTI, crestron or AMX
Just my five cents

Well, audiophile world is picky, but 400-500 will not scare them if implemented right. Even an ugly and limited SimAudio Mind still selling for $1200!
AURALiC soon will release Aries Streamer - http://www.stereophile.com/content/auralic-aries-music-streamer for $999.
Will new product be able to match up? Excluding "looks" ))
