R.A.M,
I am getting up to speed with interfacing my PC (not MAC) to my audio
system. There seems to be quite a few music stores out there. I guess
Napster was one of the originals. Just browsing and picking out some rare
tracks, I've found holes in their respective catalogs, me being a product of
the 60's & 70's. I am looking at a Roku streamer to inerface to my system. I
guess my question is one of store preference for 60's and 70's depth and
maybe a link to good reference reading on the technology itself.
Thanks,
Mark

http://pandora.com/ is worth a look for free. You dn't get to
directly pick what you want to hear, but it's a neat way to learn of
all sorts of things that are like tunes that you enjoy.

Before you commit to the Roku may I seriously suggest you consider an
alternative that is higher rated by audiophiles for higher fidelity, ease of
use, flexibility, and support: Slim Devices "SqueezeBox". I did a lot of
reading and research on line and in magazines and the SqueezeBox always came
out on top of its competitors. (And, no, I don't work for them. I'm just a
very satisfied customer

Hi Dave,
I'll look into them as well, seems the two always are mentioned together.
Surfing the web, I found the simplistic Linksys Musicbridge as well. I will
be using the coaxial digital output to my DAC. Is there a quality aspect to
the digital signal between them or is it mostly a feature / software
differences?
Thanks,
Mark
