Hello guys,
Here's my current setup :
PC with Windows 7
Asus Xonar DX sound card ---> Optical ---> Denon 1911 Amp
Sapphire 6950 ---> HDMI ---> Denon 1911
Denon 1911 Amp ---> HDMI ---> TV
I use my PC to play music (mp3 320 and flac) and videos (up to 1080p).
My concerns with this setup is that I need to use the dual-screen feature to play movies and that I can't control my computer (sound, next album, etc.) without buying a wireless keyboard or moving up from my couch.
I was wondering if a Network Multimedia Tank was a viable solution.
It's expensive (100-200$ for something decent), and needs a NFS and/or good network capabilities to perform (i.e. I would also need to buy a gigabit PCI-X card because my router is only 10/100). If possible, I would like to keep all my files on my computer.
What do you guys think ? Do you see another solution for me to play my music and videos on my amp ?
Thanks in advance
