Yes, it's all networked.

As I said - only tea is on offer, not champagne.

Hello, I suppose it depends on what I mean by "better sound" but that's a difficult one to answer... I have a relatively old set up which I use to stream music from my PC where all my files are FLACS. From there the music goes (via JRiver MC) to one or other old Marantz music centre - a 510 or...

It does, yes, but the last time I used it is was not so flexible, which is why I went the JRiver route. It was a while ago, though. Maybe I will look again.

I should ask this question on the JRiver forum really, but you need a degree in Streaming Studies to understand anything they say. Anyway, I have a system which is working really well - music stored locally on a PC running JRiver Media Centre, which is a great system. So the music can be played...

Thank you all for your advice. Phillip

I have some old but Mission 760i SE speakers which I may be considering replacing. Currently I am using an old Denon silver box system which I can't remember the name of, but it was one of their very early models and the speakers were recommended for it by What HiFi at the time. But I think I...

I am in a similar position, in that I am researching how to have online music storage - I'm buying a house which has got CAT 5 wiring, and as I have been ripping CDs and (more laboriously) vinyl to USB discs for some time it just makes sense. So I'm thinking I will invest in a NAS and a...
