Does this product even exist???

Hello, here is a question for you digital/computer type guys. I would like to know if there is a product out there that would let me transmit a wireless Digital audio signal to a receiver beside my Audio system that will output into my CD Player's Digital inputs. The reason I ask is because I have lots of very high quality MP3's that I'd like to listen to through my DAC. I would like to avoid having a computer sitting beside the system as it introduces high amounts of EMI and fan buzzing noises. Any other creative solutions would be welcome. The DAC accepts all types of Digital inputs.

The problem I have with all of Creative's products is AC97 compliance - which forces upsampling of 44.1 KHz content to 48 KHz on the SPDIF output. If all you want to do is use the digital output with an external DAC, grab the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 (which does NOT upsample) ofr circa $100.00 or if you want to really go high-end ($400 USD+), go for the RME 2496PAD which offers AES/EBU as well via an add-on cable.

As for a cheap (and silent) computer, the Hush is good, but you can also put together a similar (silent) mini-ITX system for less - albeit without the slick looking case Hush offers. Check out www.mini-itx.com for more information on these cool fanless VIA boards.
