I don't really understand this concept. How specifically can a DAC or any component be specifically made for the SqueezeBox? Is this just a case of really targeted marketing? Now, if you can isolate the I2S lines on my SqueezeBox, and therefore, bypass the usual SPDIF receiver (i.e. CS8416, etc.) and connect directly to the DAC chip, that would be something interesting. As for specific components, I am designing a DAC for my SqueezeBox, too! It will have CS8416->AD1896 (upsampled to 96 kHz) ->PCM1794. I'll let you all know when it's done, but I can guarantee I won't be selling them. In fact, when I'm done with the schematics I will post them in the DIY section.
