Hello
I've just stumbled across the idea of an HCPC. For my purposes, if I go for it, it will only replace the DVD player, and output to an AV amp (will feed a plasma, when I get one). The reason I'm so interested, is that I was already planning on having a PC to supply music around the house. If I can add high quality DVD output to that, great.
I shall be putting all my CDs onto the hard drive (either uncompressed, or lossless), and for stereo, I understand I can either have a decent soundcard outputting analogue to the AV amp, or I can output digital to the AV amp.
I also want to be able to access the stored music from elsewhere in the house (pref decent quality). The method I had planned on, before seeing all this info on HCPC, was to digitally stream it to clients like Audiotron/Slimdevice, which would then give a digital output to a local DAC & Amp in each room.
My question
Are there better methods of supplying this music source to other areas of the house?
Cheers
