I'm hearing some early reports of a new UPnP streamer/renderer.
It's called the 3D Lab Nano Transport and was actually announced in Munich although I think it has only recently started shipping.
ThierryNK has just reviewed this very favourably on Audiophile Magazine:

Sorry but it's in French.
ThierryNK has been comparing it to his current reference the totaldac d1 server and has been struggling to tell the two apart from a sound quality perspective.
The cost? 1,750 euros so this is a clear rival to the Auralic Aries. If it's as good as the d1 server then this is a very interesting development indeed! In my own tests the d1 server was substantially better that the Aries...
I think someone needs to try this with a Devialet!
