can you get hifi music players that accept USB flash or SD cards?

I'm not talking about portable devices, but I'm wondering if there is some sort of DAC device that is good sound quality and will take music you have stored on a USB flash drive or SDHC memory card directly and play it through your hifi?

I used to be really into hifi a few years ago, with an expensive CD player, amp and speakers, but I'm a bit out of touch with products nowadays. It just seems like it would be the perfect product for me if something like this exists.

I've got a micro hitachi hi fi which takes sd and usb sticks, sure to be others as its about 3yr old.

Yeah, not really heard of anything though. You'd think it would be very popular. I guess the music industry wouldnt like it though...

Half of the ones in that search do not have USB inputs at all.

spaceboy - you want a HiFi seperate that you can plug USB sticks or memory cards into? Find yourself a DVD player - lots of these come with these attachments, with a view to looking at photos or watching videos et, but playing MP3s will happen too. You're just coming at it from the wrong angle!
