Hi guys,
I'm very old school as far as sources are concerned so still hang on to dedicated CD Player as source. However, one of my colleagues is looking for a one box solution for the source and asked me for suggestions. I've seen FMs using the following players (In no particular order)
WDTV Live
Popcorn Hour
Xtreamer
Asus O Play Mini
I've also found mention of the following but I guess they are more of softwares and/or streaming devices:
Himedia
Roku
Apple Airport Express
Chromecast
Teevee
Minix
Then there are things like Raspberry pi and NUC.
He is looking for a solution where he would dump all his songs into a box which is a source that would be connected to an amplifier from where he would play his music.
He prefers to have a USB port to be able to play occasional mp3 files and bluetooth connectivity to play songs from his smart phone. Streaming over wifi is a welcome addition but not essential.
What do you guys suggest?
