Then just get an Airport Express box.

I can't find the audio specs on it. Does it pass anything it receives?
That would be great.

It looks like it is WiFi, not ethernet and WiFi. I need ethernet in
this location because my WiFi signal is too weak. It has an ethernet
plug but it is not clear from the description whether it is input or
output.

It does not appear to have an optical output. The picture shows
ethernet, USB and analog. I need optical for my DAC.



The AppleTV can handle ethernet or WiFi, but as far as I have been able
to find out, it only does 44.1/16 and I am looking for 96/24 or more.
It does have an optical output I can connect to my DAC. Aside from the
limited sample rate it has been the ideal solution.

If the Airport express has an ethernet input and does 96/24 or better
over optical, that would be a good choice. The info on the Apple web
sites, at least what I have been able to find, doesn't answer those
questions.
