[SurroundSound] Re: Playing music from HDD.

I've tried several solutions for passing music files to my A/V
receiver, in chronological order they've been:

1. - HTPC connected to receiver via multichannel analog interconnect.
2. - USB HDD to DVD player, connected to receiver via multichannel
analog interconnect.
3. - USB HDD to WD HDTV mediaplayer, connected to receiver via HDMI
4. - NAS connected to receiver via Ethernet (my receiver is DLNA-
compliant)
5. - HTPC connected to receiver vía HDMI (my video card handles audio
bitstreaming and hi-def video)

I'd say my current hookup (5) is very versatile but very tricky to
configure. A cheaper, less messy and almost as versatile solution
would be:

6. - NAS + DLNA compliant mediaplayer, connected to receiver via HDMI
for multichannel or S/PDIF for stereo.

As you my guess, my system has to cope with HD movies too. But all
these options are valid for music, and most of them even for hi-res
surround.
