Jesus,
Have you and/or Andrew Gillis and John Swenson thought of a video version of your Sonic Transporter + MicroRendu setup?
In other words, a Sonic Transporter w/terabytes of SSD that has all our blu-ray movies and JRiver loaded along with a separate MicroRendu like device with ethernet input but HDMI output? The HDMI output would then connect to any AV Processor. Could make Oppo 95/105 & existing competitors like Baetis Audio, Acoustic Frontiers MS2 etc...a run for the money.
Best,
Anand.
