I will be moving shortly and one of the things that I never got round to sorting out at my old house was a decent audio setup... just after suggestions to do all of the following:
#Play at least mp3 up to 320kbps (ideally play FLAC as this is most of my live recordings)
#Have a remote control
#Have a 'shuffle' play
#Stream from one or more locations on more than one network locations
#Have a screen (as large as possible - NOT TV)
#Connect to an encrypted wireless network.
I already run a couple of XBMCs for TV and films but just want a simple, neat box to sit on top of my amp and receive my music. I've been looking at all sorts of projects - hackaday has one that's just a mini-ITX PC and that's a bit overkill I think...
A couple of 'it-would-be-nice-if' features
#connect two media streamers together to sync music around the house
#internet radio stations
#cheap ()
Any suggestions appr. I've been looking for a little while now and nothing seems elegant enough - If I was a consumer electronics company...
