Thanks guys, but neither of those solutions are really what Im after.
Well what exactly do you want to do?
Sounds like you want to stream music from your PC to your HiFi using a device of somesort.
Dont know why you want an Uber card because MP3s would have lost any half decent sounds anyway
Okay Ive obviously not been 100% clear.
All I want to do is network to my main PC to play back the files on my main PCs HDD through my hifi. I absolutely do not want to have to:
* Copy my files anywhere
* experience any noise from the hardware
*degrade the sound quality (eg radio streamers)
Most of my music is in FLAC format (or if not its virtually transparent MP3 quality), so routing through a decent soundcard is ideal.
That transporter is silly money when I can put together a rig to do the same thing. The Thin Client is still the best option so far.
Also I only need 2 channel stereo - all these network media devices seem geared for 5.1
