Audio Research Reference DAC Digital Media Bridge

I'd file this one under DAC/preamp/streamer, with plenty of features and more to be announced. What we know: based on the company's DAC 8, there will be six digital inputs including all the usual suspects as well as wired and wireless networking, vTuner and UPnP. The DAC can upsample to 24/192 and includes a front panel display for control info and selected meta-data via DLNA/UPnP networked devices. Price will be around $15k.

I know there might be better amps, preamps, dacs, I haven't heard them all, but consistently the sound from an Audio Research product never fails to impress.  I love em and wish I could afford them.
