Wavelength Audio will be releasing new USB DACs at the show. A cheaper 24/96 version should be included.
Linn will be releasing the Akurate DS music server. Rumor has it that Linn will also release a Classik DS music server. Details on the Classik are very sketchy at this point. The Akurate DS will be controllable from a web browser among other things. Good news for those using an iPod Touch. Readers of Computer Audiophile will also be interested to know this music server will store its music on NAS drives. <a href="http://www.avhub.com.au/NewsArticle.aspx?MagazineID=5&NewsArticleID=605">Australian Hi Fi magazine</a> interviewed Linn's Gilad Tiefenbrun who said, "Vinyl has finally met its match... Linn’s philosophy is that if something sounds better, it is better, and we hope customers will compare Akurate DS against traditional vinyl and CD sources to discover that digital streaming over the network has finally come of age."
