AppleTV work with USB DAC?
I'm 6ft away from a Mac Mini now and I hear nothing. How quiet do you need it? 
Best USB DAC under $1000
Why have you ruled out using Firewire and checking out something like an Apogee Duet? Hell, if you have the space for a MOTU 896HD it'll both record and output 24/192. My needledrops sound amazing. 
Need Recommendation on Best CD player under $1,000

If you're definitely going to be adding an external amp then you might want to explore tube-based preamps in the $1000 & under range. Will you be using it in conjunction with a computer via the the usb input? I heard them both and they do soun... 
Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far
Mad Season came out WELL after Alice In Chains. 
Allman Brothers DVD cost??
Anyone can sell their stuff on Amazon just like eBay. 2003 was almost seven years ago...that's an eternity in the music industry. Not weird at all to be OOP.
