Hey Roby,
I'm sure that you're already aware of this, but if you did want inputs on the Akurate you could of course go for the DSM (obviously more money). I sometimes wonder if this would have been a good option, but then I can't really think what I would use them for.
You've already got a phone stage for the TT so probably not that. Maybe CDP but I think once you have your CDs stored as files you'll find yourself using this less and less.
What was the interface like on the PS? Did it use a UPNP on some tablet device? Music pulled from a NAS drive?
The Oppo is an interesting suggestion. Not sure it is direct competiton but for the money it certainly gives value.
we used ipeng & teh logitec remote app.
Personaly I think the logitech was easier to us because of a more staight forward lay out, but there was a problem with the ghaps, you can't olay a mixed album without the gaps inbetwwen the tracs. an this is possibel using Ipeng.
Actualy it's really good so long you're libary is well organised an other adtvantag of Ipeng is that when you ad an album you don't need to rescan it's added automaticly. it cost like 6€. used the app on a Ipad an on a android phone.
the disavantage of the psa is that you can not instal the sw directly on the NAS so he left his Imac running 24/7 to run thz mediaserver..
The music was storred on the nas.
So I don't know about the sw of the akurat? can you instal it directl on the nas or do you need a pc running all the time?
This is actualy the only thing bothering me. You can use the psa wit the logitach madia sever than you can turn the pc of but than you have the ghap problem on mixed cd's...... :wall:
