The Arcam receivers are very highly regarded over here for their 2-channel abilities, so I don't find the idea of one being used as a DAC quite so ridiculous. One could argue that Arcam has considerably more experience with DAC implementation (and audiophile electronics in general) than Slim Devices does.
