[SurroundSound] Re: Can you stream DVD-A Audio Object Files with a DLNA server?

Thanks for the info about the 2TB drive limit for the Oppo. I can see
how 2TB can easily get filled! To get around the 2TB limit, can you
connect multiple 2TB drives?

And I was wondering something...a drive connected to the Oppo would
need to be disconnected from the Oppo and connected to a computer to
copy iso's to it - not very convenient. Would it be possible to use a
NAS drive, rather than a standard drive? This way file copying could
be done over the network cable while the NAS drive remains connected
to the Oppo via ESATA or USB?

Lastly, I know the attached drive needs to be NTSF format. I am using
a MacBook Pro...but the Mac shouldn't have a problem connecting to a
NTSF-formatted NAS drive...would it?
