With direct IR you'd also avoid the security problems that appear to
exist in the Denon network control software. It appears that the Denon
web UI is really primitive (from a security perspective) and all an
attacker would need to do to mess with the Denon settings is get you to
browse a malicious web page; the attacker wouldn't even need to use any
Javascript.

I understand the same may be true of default installations of
SqueezeCenter 7.3, but at least SqueezeCenter allows you to enable some
protection.

Another option would be the ExecuteScript plugin -- write "on" and
"off" scripts in your preferred scripting language or development
environment, and let ExecuteScript run them for you.
