My initial thoughts of hdmi are as a user interface for the player. Not for streaming to. I think 2 channel audio could be made to use this route, but multichannel will require significant changes to the playback app... (also is there enough multi-channel audio only material to justify this?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
