I hear you too..but...most DACs with small foot prints have USB inputs only, and it is a good bet buyers will be pairing it with similarly priced converters... and USB insures all resolutions come through with no compatibility issues.

I get what you and Sordidman are saying. I was glomming on to the LMS-compatible/SBT replacement aspect. But "better".
It makes no diff to me how large the unit is, as it would pale compared to any other piece in the system, never mind the speakers. Now I'm starting to think there's a portable or headphone side to this, which I didn't think of, if size is of some concern. I guess I'm still missing the previous Swenson SBT replacement that got canned. Just want a better "analog" digital output. Actually, just as good would be fine too. Or a gift of more SBTs. Really, for what I listen to, and even the occasional 24/192 classical, the SBT is fine for my music files. Don't need a display either, never use it.
You do know about the Auralic Aries Mini?
wireless... Analog out... wired, (should be soon) capable of UPnP, which could compete with a SBT. SPDIF, too...
"Asylums with doors open wide,
Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
No worries. I never saw it, or any of the other cool little streamers as SBT replacements. The SBT was great but time has moved on and there much more sophisticated implementations. Don't get me wrong, When Logitech stopped supporting the SBT, they made a big mistake.
