Critique my media server setup!

I'm embracing the reality that the future is now, and I'm looking to move away from CDs to a media server streaming to my system. I have the server hardware all set (a computer), and for software I'm looking at Universal Media Server with a phone app for remote control.

Where I'm stuck is with the selection of a wireless-capable DAC that will interface with UMS and then of course connect to my amp. What are y'alls thoughts on what's out there? My initial searches haven't resulted in anything super exciting.

Help!

The Oppo Sonica ($800) might work.  Just verify the UMS compatibility.  Also, note that the Sonica does not currently support gapless playback from all sources.

Another idea would be the Bluesound Node2 ($500), provided it can work with UMS servers.
