You do not need a DAC with it, as the audio out is either analog mini or optical mini, depending on what's plugged in. Or so say the specs.

Yes. Supports up to 10 users at a time:

Lotta tech packed into a small package. I bet the analog out isn't that great, but there's a digital out, so it could go into a DAC or your living room HT receiver. Very interesting--I might have to get one.

I'd like to hook this thing up to my home theatre receiver that has on optical in. It is being used right now by a TiVo. I've seen some optical/toslink spliters. Would this degrade the sound?

I ordered one the day they were announced. I'll post a comparison with my squeezebox when it arrives.

I know I've asked this question in another thread, but does anyone know how much cache these guys will have? I haven't been able to find mention of it in any of the product pages.

I find my squeezebox has too little cache for lossless/PCM streaming: 2mb, I believe.
