We still have to see a complete software package for convinient playback of 
music in uhj or amb format.
A player that support playlist and is able to play 2 and 4 channel uhj or amb 
files transparently,
And also is supporting/integrating a ambisonic decoder, either a vst or jack 
based one.

I do NOT consider a DAW like Reaper, Ardour such a player.

i'd say unless you are very traditional in what goes into your hifi stack, get 
a small, quiet computer with a good soundcard and do your decoding in software. 
much more future-proof, cheaper, and more flexible. unless you have stacks of 
UHJ-encoded LPs or CDs, where a dedicated old-school hardware box might 
actually realize its potential for userfriendliness.
