[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 487662, member: 1447"] that Marantz 5008 at R9k is a helluva deal coming back to the topic whats wrong with just using the PC or laptop connected to a DAC via USB and then just connecting the DAC to your normal setup without needing DLNA etc ..... if you just use a PC as your source (think something like a microserver with an O/S ....whether its windows or linux i dont care) and you can use multiple bits of playback software if you simplify it even more ie if the PC has HDMI output then this can connect directly to your AVR and you can use software like Foobar for playback ..... would using all these wandboard like things etc connected to a DAC which then connects to a system sound all that much better to justify the much higher expenditure .... only disavantage with a PC (like a microserver is that you need to have a monitor or TV on all the time to navigate the software) but thats something that i personally dont mind BUT my question still remains ie how much better does the method of having dedicated devices actually sound?
