[QUOTE="Carnajo, post: 927769, member: 4842"] So here's my take... the problem with most of those devices is that they're wi-fi only (i.e. no ethernet port) which may or may not be perfectly fine depending on where you router is, the quality of the router, and the quality of the wi-fi receiver in the device. I've had okay experiences and I've had terrible experiences. So I got an nVidia shield which has an ethernet port and never looked back, but it is pricier, but I really wanted something that can passthrough/bitsream audio. Apple TV is also an option (w.r.t. ethernet port) but it can't bistream all forms of audio (can't remember which ones it can/can't do) but if you're happy with LPCM that should also be fine. [/QUOTE]
