Micromega AirStream WM-10 Wireless DAC

Has posted a less than enthusiastic review of the Micromega AirStream WM-10 Wireless DAC ($1599) at Home Theater. His conclusions:

If your goal is to get high-quality music from iTunes to your stereo, you might think you could simply hook your computer’s headphone jack to your system and be on your way. That’s fine if you’re content with the quality of a standard PC’s built-in DACs, but you shouldn’t be. There are USB DACs available for less money (in some cases not a lot less money; in other cases a lot more). Or you could just go with the Apple Airport, which will also transmit CD-quality music. I found the Micromega to be an elegant, if not obvious, solution. It’s not simply a way to wirelessly transmit music. It’s a way to do so that results in a handoff to superior DACs, run by a superior power supply, and controlled by a remote control you’re already abundantly familiar with. Recommended for the serious only.
