As an enthusiastic owner of several Turtle Beach Audiotrons (one of which is connected (optically) to my 990), I was just wondering who else is using a DAR with the 990 and in what way. For those of you who may not know, DAR is an ancronym for Digital Audio Receiver; this generally comprises some I/O and networking capability (often wireless) that allows you to send streaming content through an audio system.

For me, I use the 'family room' Audiotron to stream from my PC library (99% of which is wav, not MP3) as well as some of the streaming station feeds. I have two more of these Audiotrons connected (via their analog outs) to otehr systems around the house. I can't tell you how this whole centralized server concept has changed how I see and experience music (read: almost all the time at home now), and I wondered if there are otehrs out there for whom this has revolutionized their music listening experience.

One of my friends recently acquired a Slim Devices Squeezebox and she has incorporated that into her (2.0) system. She loves it.

Anyway...just wondering how many of us Outlaws are using such devices, and in what way, and whether or not it has been a positive or negative experience.

Just wondering...
