As far as the Stello CDT100, I have never seen it in person, or heard much about it... But one review I read says along w/ its companion DAC, the pair is hard to beat for its price. http://www.aprilmusic.com/AM/Hifiworld_Aug08_stellocombo.pdf
Its I2S uses mini-DIN style, not RJ45...
Right now I can get a new TL51X for a decent price. Cheaper than it's retail price in North America, so it is very tempting. But I need to make a move on it before I leave Asia in a few days... I will go and flirt with the owner lady to see if i can get the price down even further... ;-)
Consttraveler, are you using the I2S RJ45 connection?
I dont understand why M192 only outputs 192/24 on I2S and not on other outputs...
I have heard the M192, with Extremo DAC playing through PMC EB1i speakers. I was VERY impressed w/ the combo... http://picasaweb.google.com/SpoolyT/TAA2008#5238074007585983730
