Mazz, great idea! I grok the concept of a split system. Put the big rig downstairs with the huge RAID and the ripping (I use EAC) stuff. Then buy the weakest HUSH (I gotta be 100% fanless and I can't build anything, all thumbs) I can with a solid state drive so nothing spins, I mean 0 db, and use USB or I2S for perfect sound, bit-for-bit as good as the most expensive CDP. Share out the big RAID and I am good-to-go!
Love 'ya mazz you made my night.
Your MythTV system sounds great. I have networked Windows Media but it is not 100% reliable (Dell and HP gear) as it comes out of P1 or P2 suspend.
However it replaced a RAID-like array of 11 VCR's which my wife invented so we could pause and rewind live TV before DVR's were invented.
My quest for the perfect set of isolation cans (will be STAX I think) stems from my desire to be in the same room as her but not listen to (or heaven forbid watch) her choice of TV programs.
