Awesome, Going to try this with my Pi.

I presume that it'll work with the HDMI out into my AV receiver well without the distortion from lack of on-board DAC?

hdmi works too and has a much better audio quality than the headphone jacket. There are occasional interferences but this could also be caused by shairport or the network connection ( my guess is network ).

Better over hardwire than WiFi? Or just the how the Pi handles the info on-board?

sorry for the confusion, the problems were load related as a process in the bg was running wild. Runs pretty smooth over both ethernet & wlan now.
