Currently I pipe iTunes over ethernet to an AppleTV that has an optical
connection to my DAC. I believe I am correct that the AppleTV only does
44.1/16, while software on my Mac allows up to 192/24. Is there a
device I could use in place of the AppleTV (and, possibly, the DAC) that
would allow me to transfer and play at higher rates?


Logitech Squeezebox Touch.

Handles up to 24/96. It also has a piece of software for Mac, Windows, and
Linux/Unix that when installed turns computer into a local music server.


Thanks but not quite what I am after. I have Pure Vinyl 3, which
contains their player. The player connects to iTunes and allows 192/24
(or 196/24; I forget). It also queues music in memory so it doesn't
have to be played off the HD.

My problem is I can't really benefit from this by connecting to the
AppleTV. I think my DAC can handle it, but I am not at home to confirm
that. Anyhow, I am looking for a replacement for the AppleTV that can
be fed over ethernet and has an optical output for my DAC, or one device
that does both.
