I also noticed the Theta, and anecdotal reports so far (on AVS) are that audio over HDMI does sound different from it. If this means that they have improved the jitter on the HDMI that can only be a good thing.
If rack-mounting is a major issue, I would have thought Middle Atlantic could sort you out with a kit for any Oppo, without adding $2500 to the cost. (I read that the Theta has gone down from $5000 to $3000.)
The Ayre may be wonderful, but I suspect much of that $10000 would be wasted for someone using it as a digital transport...
