Kenwood Fineline VRS-N8100 Ships:
As of today, Kenwood’s new top-tier Fineline VRS-N8100 combo A/V receiver and digital media streamer is supposed to be shipping, and she looks like a beaut. Not only is there the obligatory Ethernet port and the ability to play back almost anything you can imagine (though, notably, not DiVX, at least according to the listed spec), it also features a PCMCIA slot so you can attach your favorite card reader, and DSP to clean up and restore the high frequencies so often mangled by lossy audio codecs. The only thing missing is a Wi-Fi connection, though with that PCMCIA slot it might be a tempting hack for the A/V geek with no budget limitations.
