Since I haven't covered the Weiss gear on AudioStream, let's talk about these two pieces. The Weiss MAN301 is a purpose-built computer more or less with CD drive for ripping and without any internal storage (Weiss recommends connecting a NAS via the Ethernet input). Digital inputs include AES/EBU or S/PDIF on XLR, RCA, and Toslink and digital outputs consist of AES/EBU on XLR and RCA, FireWire, and USB. The MAN301 can handle up to 32-bit/192kHz on all inputs and is compatible with "all common audio file formats (uncompressed, losslessly compressed, lossy compressed)". There's also a Weiss iOS app which you use to control MAN301.
The Weiss Medea+ DAC can play back 24-bit/192kHz on all inputs including (3) AES/EBU inputs on XLR connectors, (1) Toslink (optical) and (4) S/PDIF (RCA) connectors. You can also get the optional FireWire and ST glass fiber inputs. There are pairs of single ended and balanced outputs.
