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

Thanks for the reply. BTW I see you are on The Hub, I am now a member
there.

So since the Oppo doesn't support AOB's then that rules out the idea
of AOB streaming. Not a bad thing actually, since I realize that there
are many options that I am sorting through in order to figure out how
best to organize and play material. Knowing that the Oppo plays iso's
on attached storage might help me figure things out. But it seems that
Flac is really the most flexible file type - it can be streamed
easily, can hold multichannel and hi res media, and it doesn't take up
tons of storage.

So is the idea of keeping a "complete" Flac collection (ALL of my
audio, both hi res/multichannel and stereo CD audio) a good one? If
so, I guess I will be keeping multiple file types of the same album -
I want the iso's for backup/disc burning and the flacs for streaming/
playback. Or perhaps once I burn the DVD-A disc I can keep this as my
backup, have the flac for playback, and in theory I wouldn't need the
iso anymore...some food for thought.

I believe a 4-bay NAS device is next on my list.
