Problem with using AppleTV as streaming device is that it is limited to 16-bits so 24-bit files will be down-sampled. However it converts everything to 48kHz (44.1 up, 96 down), so I am not sure why Birdland's product mock-up pic above shows 44k1.

Birdland Audio aTVDAC
Designed as a companion to the new AppleTV. The aTVDAC is a digital to analog converter with built-in integrated amplifier. So you connect AppleTV's digital output to aTVDAC, and then connect you speakers. No details yet on output power (watt) or whether it can decode surround sound.
