Hello guys,
I bought a NAS for my home storage needs and connected it with my computer. It has significant amount of storage and now I can store all the movies/songs in a digital format without worrying much about running out of space.
This NAS storage is in a separate room, but I can connect an ethernet cable to the hall where the main entertainment system will be. I want to be able to stream movies & music from one room to the other.
In the hall, I will be looking at a HT setup that has a tata sky hd + blu-ray + this nas system connected to it to make all media accessible.
My questions:
1) In the hall, what kind of a streamer should I look at? (I don't care much about the streamer having a HDD) as I store data already on a NAS.
2) Can all these things be connected to a AVR without issues so that the no of boxes can be minimized?
3) Most of the songs stored are in the flac format, while playing through a media streamer would there be a loss in fidelity/SQ? I am being particular here because I do care a lot about the SQ.
What do you guys suggest?
