[SurroundSound] Re: playback options

I have tried both HDMI and DLNA solutions and found HDMI more
versatile considering audio and video formats. DLNA is easier to set
up but you are always limited to the capacity of the Marantz.

I suspect Windows Media Center won't handle FLAC for you. There are
many alternatives that does, such as Tversity, Wild Media Server and
Foobar2000.
