JRiver Synapse -- Would you consider a $395 Audiophile DLNA Renderer?
JimH:
Here's the back of the device.

On the left is the power cord. On the right is an 1/8 inch stereo jack for analog sound out.
Two USB (one more on the front of the case), HDMI, and network.
The black slot at the top is for ventilation.

Bummer... That puts it out of the running for me unfortunately. Why have HDMI only when it doesn't even run video? Unless it can run as a server???

JimH:
HDMI is excellent for audio. I know that some audiophiles don't agree.
pcstockton:
it's not an audiophile thing. High-end DACs tend to have spdif. HDMI is non-existent outside of the multi-channel AVR world. No big deal. You are marketing this to other another demographic.
Cheers!

GreggP:
HDMI and S/PDIF aren't ideal for DACs. Both have problems with clocking (and jitter). If you are looking for a high quality, well engineered audio solution, you need an interface that has the master clock on the DAC.
